Homeless Persons' Memorial Day

  • Community Action House 739 Paw Paw Drive Holland, MI, 49423 United States (map)

December 21 is Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day - the first day of winter and the longest night of the year. Across the country, communities will pause to remember those who died while experiencing homelessness in the last year.

Our Outreach team worked with seven neighbors who passed away in 2023. Join us in a moment of silence from 12pm-12:04pm to remember their stories, and reflect on others who may have passed away unknown to our team. Later that evening from 5pm-7pm, join us at Food Club for open-house style memorial - alongside staff, guests, volunteers, nonprofit partners, and other community members, we'll gather for candle lighting and interfaith prayer at 5:15pm.
