Hunger
Fairfax community works to fight homelessness, hunger
|Senior Yara Mowafy first thought of the idea of donating unused meal plans to homeless students while working on a project for a communication class.
Two years later, donating meal plans is out of the question, but Mowafy has managed, along with senior Jordan Bivings, to set up a Meal Plan Assistance Fund for homeless students. The fund is located in the Office of Advancement and Alumni Affairs.
Students in need of emergency meal assistance are either referred to the Office of Case Management and Student Support or can self-identify to this office.
