Thanksgiving Day meal – Served to anyone in need. Location and Time TBD. Contact: gw@celebrateoutreach.org
Still no Room in the Inn – Celebrate Outreach! presents “Still No Room in the Inn,” our annual Christmas caroling for people experiencing homelessness, held on the first Friday evening in December. Carolers will carol at homeless shelters, the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Courts, and other spots in downtown St. Petersburg, ending with cookies and hot chocolate. Many people make this joyous event an annual part of their holiday season.
“Still No Room in the Inn” takes its name from the Christmas story. Jesus of Nazareth was born as a homeless refugee and was placed in an animal’s feeding trough because there was “no room in the inn” for him and his family. The caroling is a reminder that two thousand years after the first Christmas there is “still no room in the inn” for many people in St. Petersburg.
People of all ages, professions, economic conditions, beliefs, and singing abilities carol together, united by their support of decent housing for all. Contact John Stewart at john@celebrateoutreach.org
