Hamilton Out of the Cold (HOOTC), is a registered charity which provides hot, nutritious evening meals for those in need, serving our guests with dignity and compassion. Over 400 volunteers operate 10 locations 6 nights a week. We also partner with Wesley Centre to serve breakfasts from Monday to Saturday. Our program is now in the 21st year and runs from the beginning of November to the end of March.
Over 18,000 Dinners & 8,500 Breakfasts served last winter!!
We are working to become better known within Hamilton with the following goals:
- To help those in need to learn about, and take advantage of, our services throughout Hamilton
- To increase awareness of our organization in order to assist in our fundraising activities.
- To encourage new volunteers
