Remember homeless at Christmas

Topped by the Good Shepherd Angel, homeless Christmas trees placed around downtown Toronto by the Good Shepherd shelter intend to remind the city about the 5,000 homeless people sleeping outside or in shelters nightly. This tree at King and Bay Streets comes with a social media campaign behind it with the hashtag #HomelessChristmas.

The Good Shepherd doesn’t want Torontonians to forget there are people living on the streets, sleeping in doorways, eating whatever they can find while the rest of us shop for the perfect Christmas morning surprise.
