💙 THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR IS BACK FOR 2027! 💙

On Saturday, February 27, 2027, our community will come together for a special evening of walking, compassion, and making a difference right here in Warren County!

The Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is a family-friendly fundraising walk benefiting Hope and Rest Temporary Shelter (HARTS), an organization dedicated to providing warmth, food, safety, and shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness in our community.

🏠 Because everyone deserves a warm place to sleep, a full belly, and the comfort of knowing they are not forgotten.

❤️ WE NEED YOU!

👟 WALK WITH US! Gather your friends, family, coworkers, church group, or organization and create a team!

💙 BECOME A SPONSOR! Local businesses can make a meaningful impact by supporting this incredible community event.

🙌 VOLUNTEER! Help us make this evening a success.

💰 DONATE! Can't walk? You can still make a difference by supporting a walker, team, or the event itself.

Let's show what makes Front Royal and Warren County so special. When our neighbors are facing their coldest nights, we show up for one another.

Bundle up, bring your friends, and help us turn one cold night into a whole lot of warmth! ❄️💙

Because it's cold out there. And nobody should have to face it alone.

Every year we have the most awesome volunteers. Our guests are forever grateful for all of the assistance they are provided during the winter months. We have opened our volunteer sign-up sheet for this coming season. We open on December 6th and close the morning of March 27th. We are looking for Dinner sign-ups especially in the month of December. We'd like to get that month filled first. We are also looking for other volunteers such as: Van drivers & Kitchen helpers. If you have any questions, please text or call Michelle at 540.892.6108.

Thank you to the REC members who participate in The Power of Change.

Your voluntary donations helped Hope and Rest Temporary shelter with basic needs for our homeless friends like fresh foods, meals for lunches and clean bedding. The two refrigerators were a blessing to us as a shelter as our old one quit working right before we were able to get the grant. It was perfect timing!

More enrolled members can mean more funding available to support local nonprofits. Enroll a myrec.coop/donate.

We love our On Cue Family and all the community support they provide! Make plans to join us for dinner or make a donation!!

🦃 3rd Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at On Cue! 🧡

Thanksgiving is about more than what's on the table. It's about the people gathered around it, giving back, and making sure everyone has a place to enjoy a holiday meal.

For the third year, we're opening our doors and inviting our community to join us for Thanksgiving dinner!

Come as you are, bring your family, bring a friend, or come make some new ones! Dinner is on us, but if you'd like to contribute whatever dollar amount you feel comfortable with, donations are always appreciated and will go toward supporting our community partners, Hope and Rest Temporary Shelter and Reaching Out Now. No expectations, just good food, good company, and a little holiday cheer!

❤️ Giving Back Beyond Our Tables

Last year, our community absolutely blew us away! Together, we collected just under $8,000 in monetary donations, over 78 turkeys, 40 hams, and more than 75 pies! That's an incredible amount of generosity, and we're still so grateful for everyone who helped make it happen.

This year, we're excited to once again partner with Reaching Out Now to provide 45 local families with everything they need to enjoy Thanksgiving at home. Each family will receive a turkey or ham, all the traditional fixings, and dessert!

Want to help us make it happen?

We'll be accepting store-bought pies and monetary donations to help purchase everything needed for these holiday meals.

And a little note about turkeys! 🦃 As you can see from last year's numbers, you all REALLY came through with the turkeys! 😂 This year, rather than dropping off frozen turkeys, we'd love for you to donate any free turkey vouchers you may have or contribute toward the cost of the meals. We're happy to handle the shopping!

Any additional contributions beyond what's needed for our 45 families will go toward supporting our partnering organizations and their continued efforts in our community.

All donations can be dropped off at On Cue Sports Bar & Grill, 206 E. Main Street, Front Royal.

Three years of bringing people together, sharing a meal, and watching this community show up for one another. That's what makes this tradition so special to us.

From our On Cue family to yours, we can't wait to share Thanksgiving with you! 🧡
