Take Part in Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week - Nov 17-23, 2024

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is an annual effort to draw attention to the issues of hunger and homelessness across the nation and in our local community.  It is also a time to take action. Learn about our GVL iGNITE Fund and meet Gordon who moved out of chronic homelessness into stability.

We invite you to explore the opportunities below, learn something new, volunteer, or give back to the organizations that are on the front line every day working to end hunger and homelessness in Greenville County. Share what you do or learn on social media and tag with #HHWEEKGVL.
