In the midst of a season of holiday spirit and giving, it is important to give pause and thanks for the gifts that we are given and the people who cross our paths. The annual
Homeless Memorial March is a 2.5 mile silent march and vigil to honor those who have died in 2013 while homeless, formerly homeless, or advocating for the homeless community. See below for additional details to participate and consider submitting a name for inclusion in this year's service.
