November 15th – November 21, 2009 is National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week
“Each year, as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, many people take time to consider what they are thankful for, and donate some of their time to those less fortunate. Every year, in the spirit of Thanksgiving and education, the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness co-sponsor National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, one week prior to Thanksgiving. During this week, schools, communities and cities throughout the nation endeavor to bring a greater awareness to the issues of hunger and homelessness. This manual not only serves as a guide to evaluate past efforts, but also as a tool to inspire your community to get involved with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week!” – www.nationalhomeless.org
