Help our children stay warm

We Are Thrilled To Be Back!
No Cold Child is thrilled to be back for its second year after the overwhelming success of our first year. The initiative founded by Fortis Group began in 2020 as a response to the overwhelming need of families in the Windsor-Essex community. Our incredible industry partners and community's support helped keep children in Windsor-Essex warm and provided them with the essentials for the winter season.
You Can Help a Child Today
Children and youth are the most vulnerable among us, and No Cold Child seeks to combat this again and provide outerwear packages for those in need. This year we have set a goal to provide over 300 children and youth with outerwear packages in the community. Each outerwear package provided will consist of a coat, hat, scarf, gloves, thermal socks, and hygiene products.
Fortis with 
Fortis Group has once again partnered with MisterMaid and Silver Stitch Print House to support the Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Foundation. The Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Foundation (WECAF) generates programs for 1 in 8 children and youth in the community to which the Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Society provides services. The foundation believes that every child deserves an equal opportunity for reaching their potential, and the essence of this is ensuring their basic needs are met.
