About Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (HHAW) is an annual program where people come together across the country to draw attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness. Participating groups spend the week holding a series of educational, service, fundraising, and advocacy events. HHAW was first held at Villanova University in 1975. The LA BOSCOC began holding HHAW events in 2018.
