National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week - November 11 - 18

Written By ANGELA FABBRI

Save the Date! New Directions is celebrating National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week November 11 - 18.

National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week (NHHAW) is an annual opportunity to shine a spotlight on the problems of hunger and homelessness and organize our communities to take action. What began with one university in 1975, has grown into a huge movement with thousands of organizations and groups participating, raising awareness, advocacy, and action to help end hunger and homelessness. Throughout the week we’ll be raising awareness and support for the effort to end hunger and homelessness through our social media, donation drives, and events.

Below are some ways you can get involved and support New Directions during NHHAW:
