About Hope and Light Urban Outreach

Hope and Light Urban Outreach exists to serve marginalized individuals and families throughout Cobourg and Northumberland County. Guided by faith and a heart for service, we walk alongside those experiencing poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, isolation, and other hardships.

Read More

Through our Loaves of Love food security program, we provide approximately 10,000 meals each year to individuals and families facing hunger in Northumberland County. More than a meal, each encounter offers an opportunity to share kindness, build trust, and remind people they are not forgotten.


Our vision is to cultivate a community where hope is nurtured, compassion is lived out, and every person knows they are loved, valued, and never alone.


Join Hope and Light Urban Outreach for the Coldest Night of the Year. Walk with purpose, share compassion, and help bring hope to those experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in our community. Every step makes a difference, and together we can "be the light".
