Help out and have fun at Hunger Clean-up on April 10
On Saturday, April 10, the University will participate in the 15th annual Hunger Clean-up. The Hunger Clean-up is organized by the UConn Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, a project of UConnPIRG, and is part of a national effort. The three-hour clean-up at worksites including shelters, soup kitchens and a river clean-up, not only raises funds to fight hunger and homelessness on local, state, national and international levels, but also provides services to the local area. Half the money raised at UConn this year will go to the Windham Homeless Intervention Fund. Last year, more than 100 members of the University community participated and the UConn Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness won a bronze medal for organizing the third largest Hunger Clean-up in the country, among 200 participating schools. This year, UConnPIRG hopes to recruit the largest number of volunteers. Faculty, staff and students are welcome to participate, by organizing a team of workers, volunteering, or making a donation. For information and a sponsor sheet, call (860) 486-5002. Checks, payable to UConn SCAHH, may be sent to UConnPIRG at U-3008.
