Tuesday's memorial was organized by the nonprofits Council for the Homeless and Outsiders Inn.
Despite the frigid temperature and drizzling rain, some 50 community members gathered outside St. Paul Lutheran Church in Vancouver, Washington. There were members of the homeless community, homeless advocates, people who had lost friends and family members to homelessness, and more.
Thirty members and supporters of the homeless community died in Clark County this year, according to event organizers. Their names were written on a large poster board displayed on the side of the church.
Participants lit candles and talked quietly. Some solemnly examined the list of names. The little candle flames sizzled in the rain. Church bells tolled in the distance.
"This list of names serves as a powerful and emotional reminder that we must do more to address homelessness in our community. Tonight is not just a night for remembrance. It is also a time for affirmation as we commit and dedicate ourselves to ending homelessness."
