FIRST INTERFAITH OUT OF THE COLD PROGRAM
The First Interfaith Out of the Cold Program usually operates at St. Matthew's from November to March on Tuesday nights.
​
Out of the Cold is an emergency program that provides homeless persons with a hot meal and a warm, safe place to sleep in churches and other public buildings across Toronto. Dixon Hall’s Housing Services department supports the 16 faith-based organizations that offer Out of the Cold programs across the city during the winter months. For many of our guests, the invisibility and dehumanization of homelessness is a degrading experience. Volunteers play a key role in reducing the physical and emotional risk to those who lack shelter during winter and those who are isolated and under-housed. We offer warm, safe and friendly human contact that for many is even more important than shelter and food.​
