SWIPES FOR HOMELESS - UCLA STUDENTS GIVING THEIR UNUSED FOOD TO FOOD INSECURE FELLOW STUDENTS AND LOCAL HOMELESS - TEXAS STATE DOES TOO!

"On any given night in Los Angeles County, an estimated 82,000 people are homeless, comprising one of the largest homeless populations throughout the country. Thirty-three to fifty percent of the individuals are females, twenty to forty-three percent are families, and six to twelve percent are unaccompanied youth."
ATTENTION: If you have an urgent matter or a media inquiry, please call (818) 518-3240 or email bryan@SwipesForTheHomeless.org

It's very important that students TALK to homeless people. It's easy to do that on campus, but making an effort to talk to people on the street is important too. Homeless people often suffer social isolation and humiliation.
