Starting Nov. 6 and running through Nov. 18, Sonoma State University's SOUP (Serving Our Unfed People) program will be sponsoring programs aimed at hunger and homelessness awareness.
During these two weeks, events will be held to educate the SSU community about some of the issues surrounding hunger and homelessness. Students, staff and faculty will be given the opportunity to find out how they can make a difference in the lives of those without basic needs and provisions.
A series of events throughout November will educate participants about the current state of homelessness and hunger in America and what they can do to remedy the situation.
