The Coldest Night of the Year is an annual, family-friendly walk with locations across the United States and Canada. The purpose is to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness.

This event serves as a platform to raise awareness, advocate, and give back—all while gaining perspective on the additional challenges that winter brings to vulnerable populations. Tommy Ross, Director of Community Engagement, stopped by the morning show to give us more details on the event.

Tommy also provided details on the many services offered at Central Iowa Shelter & Services.
