HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS WEEK
Monday, November 18th:
"Restoring the Balance: Sustainability and Food Justice at Home and in Our World", a presentation by Ana Garcia Doyle, SU 003 5:30 pm
Ms. Doyle will discuss both sustainability and food justice both locally and world wide, as she takes her listeners from 'eco-conscious to eco-conscience'. The audience will discover the impact of their own food choices - and the opportunities around them - and how this impacts those who are food-insecure within our society.

Tuesday, November 19th:
Oxfam Hunger Banquet, Cafeteria, 5:30 pm
At this interactive event, the place where you sit, and the meal that you eat, are determined by the luck of the draw—just as in real life some of us are born into relative prosperity and others into poverty. There is a $5 suggested donation for this event that will go towards Oxfam America (www.oxfamamerica.org).
RSVP (limited to 30):
