Support for the Unhoused

 Annual Interfaith Unhoused Memorial 

For twelve years, SiVIC has convened the Silicon Valley Interfaith community on the winter solstice to remember and mourn our unhoused neighbors who have died in the last year. Our members share teachings from their traditions, songs, poems, prayers, and more, and the names of our deceased neighbors are read aloud.

 For the past several years we have been joined by The Tombstone Project, a display of grave headstones that carry the names of those who have died.
