Each year, one week before Thanksgiving, National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness co-sponsor National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. During this week, a number of schools, communities and cities take part in a nationwide effort to bring greater awareness to the problems of hunger and homelessness.
Join the hundreds of thousands who will participate in events next week, November 12-20, 2011, to raise awareness of the plight of America's homeless. Visit the National Coalition for the Homeless website to learn more about joining events in your area, or hosting your own.
To commemorate the week in Massachusetts, the National Center on Family Homelessness and Horizons for Homeless Children present Looking Into Light at at the Massachusetts State House, November 14-18. This photo exhibit will highlight stories of homeless families and children.
The exhibit engages viewers in the experience of family homelessness and the plight of homeless children, explores why families with young children are a sizable and growing part of the American homeless population, and opens viewers to the vision that with their participation we can put an end to this problem.
The exhibit will be on display November 14-18 in Doric Hall at the State House (24 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02133).
