Cheshire County Democrats - Candlelight Memorial for the Homeless “Remembering” Candlelight Memorial for the Homeless
Keene-On the first day of winter and the longest night of the year, Monday, December 21st, Monadnock region residents are invited to join a candlelight vigil to remember those in NH who are homeless and those who have passed due to homelessness and hardship in our communities. The event will provide participants the opportunity to remember loved ones and share stories. After the memorial service will be a time to reflect on the root causes of homelessness and ways we can work to end homelessness. The Keene Vigil will be held in conjunction with similar gatherings across NH and the country. The National Coalition for the Homeless, the national sponsor, works to bring about the systemic changes necessary to prevent and end homelessness and to protect the rights of people experiencing homelessness. This years Keene co-sponsors of the candlelight vigil are: Working Families Win, The Community Kitchen, Southwestern Community Services Homeless Services Program, The Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention, Inc., and Monadnock Family Services.
These groups who offer shelter, food, clothing and support to the many families and individuals in our region are experiencing increased need for their services this year.
The Community Kitchen requests volunteers for their special holiday meal distribution on December 20th and 21st. People can volunteer and then come directly to the candlelight vigil, which follows the meal distribution.
Donations for local service organizations will be collected at the vigil. Please consider donating: Pillows, paper towels and toilet paper, cleaning supplies, household furniture, blankets and linens, hats, gloves, winter coats and boots.
The Candlelight Vigil will be held at Keene Central Square, from 5:00- 6:00pm, on December 21st. Contact Jaime Contois at 603-504-2906 or Jaime@wfwin.org for more information or to make a donation.
