National Homeless Persons Memorial Day will be honored throughout the United States - including in many towns and cities throughout New Hampshire - with candlelight vigils and other acts of remembrance.

The Concord, NH event will take place on Thursday, December 21, at 4pm on the sidewalk in front of the Statehouse. The Governor's proclamation will be read, and a candle will be lit and a bell rung for each name we know of, of a person who has died in NH in the past year due to being, or having been, homeless.

It is a very important memorial and recognition, and for many it may be the only ceremony of remembrance they get.

Please join us in memory of our neighbors and friends.
