Urgent Request for Support

Urgent Request for Support;

This may be the last homeless action of the holiday season.
All day Friday (December 21st) there will be a homeless memorial event at Oppenheimer Park. It is the winter solstice and the International Day for the Memorial for the Homeless.
It is most important that people show up around 1:00 pm Different groups will be handing out food and clothing as their part to contributing to the event.

WE ARE AWARE THIS IS SHORT NOTICE, BUT IN THE USUAL CHAOS OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WE WANTED TO BE SURE IT WAS BEING ORGANIZED PROPERLY BEFORE INVITING BROADER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION,

This is also the kick off of the Poor and Huddled Masses winter campaign.
We invite you to come to the event, bring your support,food or other donations. Come to our tents and share your ideas and wishes around homelessness over the holiday season.
If you represent any groups feel free to bring a table, pamphlets and handouts.
If you are showing up to offer individual support, your presence is gratefully appreciated. If you want to bring in some home cooking we will accept and distribute it. The same applies to socks, blankets, winter clothes and tarps.
The closer we get to Christmas day the harder it is both physically and spiritually on the homeless and poor in our community. Your support is desperately needed.
If we show we care maybe the politicians will show some compassion too.
The Poor and Huddled Masses invites the public and housing activists to participate in the
