Oregon State University fights hunger among students

11/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Confronted with the national reality that two in five college students are skipping meals to keep the lights on, the Oregon State community is saying enough is enough.
This giving season, Beavers all over the world are coming together to address student hunger at OSU. Your gift to Beavers Fight Hunger will directly fund resources at OSU's Human Services Resource Center (HSRC), such as the food pantry and other programs that help reduce food insecurity among our students. And by giving today, you can take advantage of a generous match to increase your impact. 
Just $8 is enough to buy a student a meal with their study group in the dining hall, and $20 provides a student with enough groceries from the food pantry for an entire month.

Let's refuse to let OSU students go hungry: https://beavsgive.org/?cfpage=project&project_id=30777

End Hunger UK Week of Action is happening during the week of 11th - 18th October.
We are hoping that all around the country people who think that it is simply not right that so many are locked into food poverty will come together to raise awareness, put on events, and ask their MPs to take action.
You can organize something in your area any time over the Week, or come to London on Wednesday 16th October to take part in the Day of Action. Click here for more info.

https://www.bardsagainsthunger.com/ - Bards Against Hunger national project.

In 2013 a poetry group on Long Island, NY decided to host a poetry reading to gather food for a local food bank. The poets who attended like the idea so much that it was turned it into an annual event. As the tradition continued, the idea spread to other poetry groups and states. And it keeps growing with each passing year!
