Homeless Memorial March and Service

Remember

For 41 years, hundreds of community members have come together for the Homeless Memorial March and Service. Join us as we honor the memories of individuals who passed away in 2026: people who died while experiencing homelessness, who were previously homeless, or who were advocates. We will gather at Plymouth Congregational Church for the silent march and vigil and return to the church for the memorial service. The service will be livestreamed on our Facebook page for those who cannot attend in person.
