World Homeless Day is on 10th October each year. See http://www.worldhomelessday.org/
Almighty God, our refuge and strength,
in whose image we are all made;
you are home to any who are in need or trouble.
Inspire us with the spirit of Jesus’s love;
and empower us to work for change;
direct our actions towards those who need comfort, shelter and sanctuary;
and draw us more into fellowship with one another and with you.
Amen
