Description
JOURNEYS | The Road Home will hold its annual Homeless Memorial Service to honor the area?s homeless who have passed away during the past year, as many did not have a service at the time of their passing. The event will take place on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am at JOURNEYS | The Road Home, 1140 E. Northwest Highway in Palatine.
The service and candle lighting is held as a reminder that homelessness is still a serious ? and growing ? problem in the northwest suburbs and throughout the country. Speakers will include staff, community members and volunteers. Homeless men, women and their families will participate in the readings. The media, elected officials, civic leaders and community members are urged to attend.
JOURNEYS | The Road Home provides supportive services, transitional housing, and emergency shelter to almost 900 suburban homeless and at-risk individuals and families annually. For more information, please call 847-963-9163 x16 or e-mail t.jacob@padstohope.org.
