National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week Candlelight Vigil

From Adobe Services:

The community is invited to join us next week for our annual Candlelight Vigil, where we will honor those in Alameda County who suffer while living on the streets.

The ceremony will be from 7 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, at St. James' Episcopal Church, at 37051 Cabrillo Terrace in Fremont.

The interfaith vigil will be part of our yearly recognition of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, which runs this year from Nov. 12-20.

At this event, we will will read the names of people who died last year while experiencing homelessness in Alameda County.

Local leaders will speak about the Bay Area's housing and homelessness crisis, as well as our mission to solve those problems.

Those attending are encouraged to donate canned goods and other non-perishable food.
