Hope Awaits is committed to providing shelter, supporting and rehabilitating homeless men to get them off the street permanently! 

What is the Homeless Night Challenge?

The Homeless Night Challenge is an overnight fundraising competition designed to raise awareness for men’s homelessness in North Bay and area by demonstrating barriers homeless men face as well as raise money to offset the operational cost for Hope Awaits Men’s Homeless Shelter and Life Skills Programs.

How Does it Work?

Participant teams will commit to a fundraising goal and collect sponsors and pledges to compete in the challenge. Teams of 4-5 players will construct a shelter and spend the night outside in their shelter. Throughout the challenge teams will earn points in a number of ways and a winning team will be announced at a wrap up breakfast the following morning. 

What is the Money For?

Proceeds from event go directly to Hope Awaits Ministries to offset the operating costs for the Men’s Homeless Shelter, A Lounge and Life Skills Programs operated in North Bay, ON. Hope Awaits is committed to providing shelter, supporting and rehabilitating homeless men to get them off the street permanently!

In April the KFPL Live monthly speakers' series is excited to welcome Janet Fenton, the outreach program coordinator at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre near Napanee. 

Whether it's a bear cub with a face full of porcupine quills, a fawn attacked by a dog, or a turtle hit by a car, wild animals can often need human assistance. But how can we help without taking away their wildness? Every year in Ontario authorized wildlife rehabilitators provide temporary homes for thousands of injured and orphaned creatures. Sandy Pines has been taking in mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians since 1994, caring for them until they can be returned to the wild. The Centre also advises and assists property owners having trouble with wild animal neighbours.  It also runs an outreach program to help educate the next generation on living together with wildlife. It receives no government funding and is entirely financed by donations and fundraising.

Janet will describe the wide range of animals the Centre has helped and say how she came to work there.  She'll also talk about how to prevent wildlife injuries and what to do if we find an injured animal.

This presentation on Wildlife Rescue will take place at the Calvin Park branch on Saturday, April 13, at 2 p.m. and is open to adults and teens only, There is no admission charge, but seating is limited. To avoid disappointment, please register in advance. Register at events.kfpl.ca (or phone 613-549-8888) as of 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 30.
