Abode Services, St. James’ Episcopal Church, and Tri-City Interfaith Council will co-host the evening. For more information, please contact Amber Beeson at [email protected].
Masks will be required for all attendees regardless of vaccination status. Please bring canned goods to donate to the food drive.

“Compassion begins with recognizing the humanity in each person and gaining awareness that there are those who suffer on our streets because they lack the most basic needs,” Reverend Lori Walton Walton, Rector of St. James’ Episcopal Church said. “This ceremony aims to honor each of those lives and highlight the need of our community to care for all of our citizens.”
