The Office of Community Service has planned several events to recognize National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week on campus, including the Hunger Banquet and a “sleep-out” on the Wakehurst lawn.

Swipe for Hunger

Students on the meal plan are encouraged to sign up to “skip a meal” on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Proceeds will benefit a local organization. Students can sign up in the Miley Hall lobby from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.

Blessing Bags

Join the Office of Community Service in making “blessing bags” for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center. The bags will be decorated and filled with toiletries, which will be donated to the center’s food pantry and homeless clients. Bags will be assembled in Wakehurst, Room 201 from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.

Hunger Banquet

Learn more about the reality of hunger in our area over cereal, activities and games during the Hunger Banquet, scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18 in Wakehurst, Room 201. Participants are asked to donate a canned food item.

Register on the Community Service webpage: salve.edu/community-service/service-opportunities. (Please note: Participation in this event will not count toward students’ required service hours.)

Sleep-Out

Students are invited to make cardboard structures and “sleep” outside for two hours to better understand the daily hardships facing the homeless. The sleep-out will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Thursday, Nov. 19 on the Wakehurst lawn.

Register on the Community Service webpage: salve.edu/community-service/service-opportunities. (Please note: Participation in this event will not count toward students’ required service hours.)

Buy One, Give One

On Friday, Nov. 20, buy a Domino’s pizza with Seahawk Bucks or regular forms of payment, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Newport’s McKinney Shelter.
