EVENT SPOTLIGHT
The 16th Annual Conference on Hunger and Homelessness
BUILDING A STRONG COMMUNITY
BUILDING A STRONGER COUNTRY
Trinity College, Hartford, CT
October 31-November 2, 2003
The National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness is proud to invite you to attend the 16th Annual Conference on Hunger and Homelessness at Trinity College in Hartford from October 31st to November 2nd, 2003. The Conference will kick off a year of action to build strong communities and a stronger county by bringing together over 400 students from across the country to learn more about the issues of hunger and homelessness, gain valuable leadership skills and ideas, and help them launch programs in their own communities. Facing another year of budget shortfalls and funding cuts to vital programs, emergency service providers find themselves unable to fill the gap between government assistance and charitable contributions.
Hunger and homelessness in America and abroad has drastically increased over the last two decades and is sharply escalating. We must take action now to address immediate needs and create the impetus for lasting systemic change to permanently end hunger and homelessness. By attending the conference, you will learn the skills necessary to build a strong community and a stronger country.
This year's conference highlights include more than 60 exciting workshops, issue-based panel discussions, the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, the Faces of Homelessness Panel, a service plunge in Hartford, political actions and more. We are very excited to have Anuradha Mittal, the Co-Director of Food First (a member-supported, progressive, nonprofit 'peoples' think tank and education-for-action center), as our keynote speaker.
Raise Your Voice is a sponsor of the conference again this year, and like last year will be doing a couple of workshops and facilitating a dialogue at the closing session.
Registration for the conference has already begun. So, visit www.studentsagainsthunger.org for more information. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-664-8647. Please email this announcement to friends and colleagues. We look forward to seeing you in October in Hartford!
