"As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest" -Nelson Mandela Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is an annual program where people come together across the country to draw attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness. Every person deserves our support and respect, particularly those who have fallen on hard times. No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head. But the reality is that hunger and homelessness are widespread problems that affect far too many people. #hhweek #joincommunitystrong
