About Hunger Week
November 8-13, 2009
The Mission of Hunger Week is:
"To cultivate compassion in the community by educating and raising funds as we strive to stand in global solidarity with those who Hunger. "
“We can alter the way we live our lives so that others have the gift of that same life and the same basic human rights that we are granted. Hunger Week’s message is that working for justice, specifically the basic human right of food, is not just a part of our life, but can be inherent in the way we live.”
-Senior LUC Student
Hunger Week is a series of education, awareness and fundraising events across campus. Through campus-wide partnerships, the entire Loyola community and our neighbors and support those who hunger here at home and across the globe.
