How does it work? The fundraiser takes place where each plunger chooses - their dock, a local beach, an ice bath or any other cold water they can find!

 

In the weeks leading up to their icy plunge on May 17th, each participant raises funds for their charity of choice - Minden Community Food Centre OR the Central Food Network (+ Heat Bank)! Participants can plunge solo or with a team.

 

We are challenging YOU to be COLD and be BOLD - be part of something powerful for your community.

Between 2019 and 2024, there has been an 86% increase in the number of people who used a food bank in Ontario. The food banks in Minden, Wilberforce and Cardiff are feeding an average of 563 individuals per month - in 2025 we are expecting this number to continue rising. Your participation will help make a wave of impact for your local heat and food banks in Haliburton County.
