Memorial Day Calendar
Seven events will be held in NJ
On December 21, 2010, at least seven Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day events will be held in New Jersey. This date has been chosen as a time to remember all homeless people who died in the past year as a result of their lack of shelter or care. December 21 is the day with the least amount of light and has the longest night.
The NJ Advocacy Network to End Homelessness last year assembled resources that can be used in public worship over the sabbath weekend preceding December 21. To access this material click here.
