Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Activities 

Contact Person:  MaryAnne Cappelleri X 5352

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week activities are designed to inform and educate the entire Loyola community about people who are materially poor, hungry and/or homeless, as well as to offer opportunities for involvement with people experiencing these situations. 

Members of the Loyola Community are invited to plan and facilitate the individual events. Activities/events from past years have included: special service and advocacy opportunities, canned food drives, panel discussions, prayer services and a candlelight vigil, hunger banquet and a sleep out/fast. Planning meetings begin in early September.  Each year the Center for Community Service and Justice sponsors a Meet & Eat Program through which members of our partner agencies visit the campus during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.  Loyola was honored to host the 17th Conference of the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness from October 29-31, 2004.
