This fund was created to assist in creating pathways out of hunger and homelessness with a focus on the Chesapeake Bay region. I believe it is the duty of all people to assist those less fortunate.

Homeless Persons' Memorial Day falls on the longest night of each year, December 21st, and serves to remember those who lost their lives while experiencing the devastating impacts of homelessness. People experiencing homelessness are at a higher risk for trauma, injury, and illness, and lack of housing and access to resources exacerbates these issues. Safe, stable housing is a basic and essential human right, and the fight to end homelessness remains underway. The following nonprofit organizations are working to end homelessness through education, advocacy, policy, research, and direct services. Your donation to this Fund will help these organizations meet their shared mission of ending homelessness for good, while honoring those who have lost their lives while unhoused.
