Hunger and Homelessness Awareness

Students in a hunger and homelessness social work class are collecting new and gently used outer wear, such as coats, scarves and gloves, as part of a clothing drive for local nonprofit organizations. Items may be dropped off in Room 202-A of the 1911 Building through the end of the week.

This fall, the students lived for a week on a food stamp budget of $6.57 per day. For two of those days, they ate only foods that do not require heating or refrigeration, giving them an understanding of the challenges of living outdoors or in a car. Their posters are on display this week in  the second floor hallways of the 1911 Building. For more information, contact Susie Barnes at susie_barnes@ncsu.edu.
