What a great cause and a creative idea! The Dean’s may be camping out in a tent on the square! ⛺️

We're beginning to have some great discussions with some awesome community partners, like Gettysburg Cares, Gettysburg Area Ministerium of Churches and South Central Community Action Programs, but we need your help to spread the word about this community gathering, so we can get everyone interested in having real conversations about this issue together in the same place! Spread the word about our posters going up on the streets of Gettysburg soon, courtesy of GettysGear/Great Gettysburg Addresses.

We'll be announcing more information and a schedule of events in the coming weeks, we're so excited to host some roundtables, hear the stories of some speakers, and hear some of our communities talented "buskers" and musicians, and spend a night out to stand with the homeless.
