Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

Sunday, November 15 to Saturday, November 21

Every November, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week brings communities across the country together to better understand these issues and explore what it takes to address them. Here in Orange County, that national effort becomes a shared opportunity for local organizations and community members to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire action.

Building on The Person in Front of You movement and the belief that everyone in Orange County should have a safe and affordable place to call home, this year’s campaign asks a simple but important question: WHO SOLVES HOMELESSNESS? Through storytelling, education, and community conversations, discover the human side of homelessness, challenge assumptions, and consider the role you can play in making that shared vision a reality.
