Winter Warm Up Fundraiser

Get ready to chase away the winter chill at Shelldale Family Gateway’s Winter Warm Up, our annual community celebration that brings together great food, lively entertainment, and all the warm‑hearted energy that makes Onward Willow shine. This is the event where neighbours, partners, families, and friends gather under one roof to share a delicious meal, enjoy local talent, and support the programs that help our community thrive all year long.

​

Step inside the Shelldale Centre and you’ll be greeted by the smell of incredible dishes prepared and donated by local restaurants and community partners. From savoury bites to sweet treats, there’s always something new to try — and plenty of favourites returning by popular demand. Add in live music, friendly faces, and the buzz of conversation, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a cozy winter afternoon.

 

But Winter Warm Up is more than just a meal. It’s a chance to celebrate the strength and diversity of our neighbourhood, to connect with the people who make it special, and to support the programs that empower children, youth, and families every day. With activities like , 50/50 draw, and community showcases, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

 

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, Winter Warm Up is the perfect way to brighten your February and warm your heart. Come for the food, stay for the fun, and leave knowing you’ve helped make a difference.
