Six members of Bozeman’s unhoused community were honored at a moving candlelight memorial on the year’s longest night—a powerful reminder of how harsh Montana winters can be for those without shelter. Even as some found housing before passing, the growing number of people experiencing homelessness in Gallatin Valley (now over 500) shows this crisis is getting worse. Fewer people attended this year’s memorial, raising concerns about awareness and empathy. What would it take for more of us to show up, listen, and help? How can we better support our neighbors facing these struggles? #Safety #Bozeman #Homelessness
