The week of November 17-23 is National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (NHHAW), and the WSU Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) invites students, faculty, staff and community members to participate in this week’s events. The purpose of this awareness week is to educate students and others about the current state of poverty in our communities and around the world. Throughout NHHAW, the CCE in partnership with several WSU departments and student groups will be holding a variety of events both on and off campus.
All week long, the CCE will hold daily service projects open to WSU students and an information table located on the first floor of the Compton Union Building (CUB) on campus with facts about homelessness and poverty. An all campus food, supplies and clothing drive will also take place all week long with drop off locations on the CUB first floor and the Student Recreation Center’s lobby. On Wednesday, November 20, GIVE will hold a cardboard city outside of Todd Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the CCE will hold a Public Forum Conversation titled “One in Six: Students Living in Poverty” from noon to 1 p.m. in Butch’s Den. There are many other events occurring throughout the week, including several food drives, a fasting project, and more. For a full list of events, visit cce.wsu.edu.
