Event Details

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The Lewiston-Auburn community is invited to join this annual vigil to remember our unhoused neighbors and friends we have lost, and to highlight the crisis of homelessness in our communities this holiday season.
Participants are encouraged to add names/photos/candles to a visual memorial in the lot near the Hopeful sign, and then stand along both sides of Main Street in Lewiston with lights and signs to raise awareness during the evening commute until 5:30 pm (between Mill St./Hopeful sign and Lincoln St./Veteran’s memorial). PLEASE DRESS WARMLY – event will be held no matter the weather.

Names or photos for the event’s visual memorial may be submitted in advance via email to nicole@newbeginmaine.org by 12/15/22.

Parking is available in nearby municipal lots.

PLEASE BRING:

  • Flashlight or electric candles
  • Awareness signs
  • Memorial names & photos of those who’ve died this year while unstably housed
  • Friends and colleagues to stand with you
