The names of more than 200 homeless people who died on the streets of San Francisco in 2022 were read aloud during an annual vigil on Thursday night at Civic Center Plaza.

The readings were accompanied by bell chimes as attendees joined in a number of prayers and songs, many mourning loved ones and friends who died this year. Names of some of those who died were also displayed on banners.

The event, held each year over in past two decades, is organized by the Interfaith Council, SF Night Ministry, the Faithful Fools San Francisco, ABD/Sky Watchers and the Coalition on Homelessness.

The video shows a woman named Shakiri reading each person's name who has passed away in the past year as Rev. Monique Ortiz helps by holding a light during The Vigil: Annual Homeless Persons Memorial held in the Civic Center in San Francisco, Calif. on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022. After reading the names, attendees burned the lists at the end of the vigil.
