40th ANNUAL MAMA DOE MEMORIAL | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17th, 2025

For forty years, The Doe Fund community has gathered every holiday season for a vigil to remember those we’ve lost while experiencing homelessness, to celebrate those who have overcome it, and to recognize those still on the journey.

On December 17th at our Webster Green supportive housing residence (31oo Webster Avenue, Bronx, NY), we came together once more for our annual Mama Doe Memorial in shared commitment to expand hope, stability, and opportunity.

FORWARD TOGETHER: THE DOE FUND’S GALA | WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th, 2025

Join us for an evening of celebration, innovation, and connection at Forward Together. It’s not just a theme — it’s a testament to the power of community. We all play a part in creating pathways out of homelessness: from dedicated Ready, Willing & Able graduates who return as staff to mentor trainees, to our employer and training partners, to the real estate leaders who create lasting homes, and to supporters like you whose generosity makes these programs possible. Discover The Doe Fund’s impact — and get a glimpse of what we’ll build next, together. Tickets and sponsorships available here.
