What is the connection between hunger and homelessness? And how can we work together to address these challenges in Orange County?
For many individuals and families in our community, rising housing costs and financial instability can make it difficult to afford nutritious food and other essential needs. Understanding how these challenges intersect is an important step toward identifying solutions that support our neighbors.
In partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, we’re hosting a free, online Hunger and Homelessness 101 session as part of our annual Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
Join Alejandro Santiago, Community Engagement Manager with United to End Homelessness at Orange County United Way, and Malia Cary, Director of Government Affairs and Community Relations with Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, for an interactive conversation that explores the realities of hunger and homelessness, addresses common misconceptions, and highlights how our community is working toward solutions.
Whether you’re new to these issues or looking to deepen your understanding, this session is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and discover how you can make a difference.
