Blog #2 Multi-Media Marathon:
Homeless Awareness
According to a recent Oakland Post article, Nowhere to call home, Homeless Awareness week begins today, November 15 across the state of Michigan.
What: From the article and according to the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness – 86,189 people in the state of Michigan are homeless.
So Homeless Awareness Week begins to boost knowledge of the increasing homeless population as well as help those in need.
OU students plan to help this week.
To donate, students plan to collect canned goods, dried pasta, cereal etc.
My thoughts: I think it is important for OU students to aid in spreading awareness because if the information is out there, there is no excuse to not help out in some way.
Like the article found on MonroeNews.com, the journalist describes the issue of homelessness in our state as the invisible problem. So with a spread of awareness from OU students, it can only help matters.
