**Tonight, on the first night of winter, please remember   
those who have no home.**

Did you know that December 21st is the longest night of the year? It is also Homeless Persons' Memorial Day. Tonight, more than half a million Americans don't have a home to go to, and many live in areas facing freezing temperatures.

Will you [donate $21 right now](https://info.mercyhousing.org/longestnight) so that by this night next year, there are fewer people spending the longest night of the year outside?
