Community members gathered Sunday for an annual memorial service for people who died this year while experiencing homelessness.
The ceremony, hosted by the nonprofit House the Homeless, was held at the Tree of Remembrance on Vic Mathias Shores. Speakers addressed the crowd before small wooden bats with the names of people who died were hung on the tree.
Roughly 208 people who were homeless died this year, according to House the Homeless President Blythe Plunkett.
