“BEE the SOlution”

at the 2024 Rose Parade®, presented by Honda

Welcome to our hive of change! We’re honored to roll out our message of hope and unity at the Rose Parade®, presented by Honda.

Union Station Homeless Services is excited to be a part of  a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have our own float in the 2024 Rose Parade®, presented by Honda on January 1, 2024!

Over 35,000 flowers will be showcased on our 55-foot-long float with a field of pink and white roses bordered by handcrafted arrangements of yellow lilies. Rising high in out of the field of flowers is the adorable Home Sweet Home hive crafted with full-bloom yellow carnations, accented with bark doors and windows.  Our larger-than-life whimsical musical bees — who are calling you to celebrate that you can “Bee the Solution” – will be crafted from various types of grass, straw flowers, safflower, and Ti leaves.

Our mission In Motion

Our float isn’t just a float; it’s a testament to what we can do together for our neighbors in need.

As we mark 50 years at Union Station Homeless Services, it’s your support that has given thousands of our neighbors a place to call home. You’re part of the “Bee the Solution” movement – because everyone has the strength to make a difference in our community.

Our ‘Housing First’ approach has helped keep 97% of our community members housed, meaning that 97% of the people we house, STAY HOUSED!

But we can’t do it alone! We believe that everyone has the power to “Bee the Solution” and we need your help.

Together with you, we can work to end homelessness by advocating for equitable and just systems that ensure all individuals and families will have a safe place they can call home.
