Join us to create awareness around Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week! The week of November 13th - 21st aims to bring together different campus units and student organizations to create awareness around housing and food insecurity in our country. Housing and food insecurity is a serious and important phenomenon impacting approximately 43.1 million people in America alone! It is important to recognize how the members of our own communities are affected by these hardships, so we welcome everyone to stop by our events and to look out for upcoming Instagram posts from various UC Merced departments.
