This past weekend, nearly 100 walkers bundled up and braved the cold to support Compass House during Coldest Night of the Year 2025! Your dedication to stepping into the shoes of the youth we serve helped bring vital awareness to the challenges homeless and runaway youth in WNY face every single night.
From the energy at check-in to the determination on the walk, the night was filled with compassion, community spirit, and a shared commitment to ensuring that young people in crisis have access to shelter, support, and the resources they need to build a brighter future.
