Homeless Persons' Memorial Day

December 21
The first day of winter. The longest night of the year.
Each year on December 21 – the first day of winter and the longest night of the year – communities across the country remember those individuals who paid the ultimate price for our nation’s failure to end homelessness. Health Care for the Homeless organizes a local commemoration in Baltimore in partnership with a coalition of homeless service providers.

For information on Baltimore City's commemoration of National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day services, contact Adam Schneider at aschneider@hchmd.org.
