FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 4:30 PM MONUMENT SQUARE, PORTLAND

The longest night of the year is a time to remember our homeless friends we have lost this past year and to recommit ourselves to the task of ending homelessness. A candlelight procession will start at the MaineHealth-Preble Street Learning Collaborative at 20 Portland Street at 4:30 pm, and will proceed to Monument Square for a ceremony dedicated to the people who have died too soon in our community.

All people who are currently unhoused or unsheltered, who have experienced homelessness, who work with people who are homeless, or who are thankful they are currently housed are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Please invite your friends, neighbors, families and loved ones to join us for this powerful event that has been happening near each winter solstice for over 20 years. 

This is one of several Homeless Memorial Vigils happening across the state.
