Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

In Fall of 2005, a small group of students attended the Hunger and Homelessness Conference for Students in Seattle, Washington. As a result, the annual Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week was born. For the 2006 awareness week, students put up displays to encourage reflection about the issues, hosted a speaker from the Center for the Homeless, and participated in a hunger fast. Those who participated in the fast gathered at dinnertime to break the fast and share reflections about the event.
