Organizations aim to feed the hungry with annual Hunger Awareness Week via Megan Karbowski | Loyolan Sophomore film production major Kashi Hall and senior finance major Alex Factor gathered in the U-Hall atrium this past Sunday, Nov. 1, for the Feed My Starving Children Food Packing Event. This event was part of the annual Hunger Awareness Week, which is hosting various events this week, such as a Hunger Banquet and a Hunger Panel. Student groups are holding events this week to educate LMU about hunger issues. Gillian Boss News Intern @LALoyo!an LMU’s Sursum Corda, Oxfam, Pi Beta Phi, Beta Theta Pi, ECO Students and Thinking With have come together this week to present Hunger Awareness Week 2015 — a week dedicated to informing students about issues surrounding the distribution of food. Nonprofit organization Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), is committed to feeding children who are hungry in both body and spirit. Children and adults hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children, shipping the meals around the world to countries in need of immediate food relief. FMSC meals have reached nearly 70 countries around the world. Junior biology major Emily Simso explained that one goal of Hunger Awareness Week is to “bring together a lot of different students from around campus including [members of] Greek life, service organizations [and] anyone who wants to be involved.” The event kicked off in the early morning of Sunday Nov. 1, when the first annual Feed My Starving Children Food Packing Event began. Students enthusiastically filled the first-floor atrium in University Hall to pack as many meals as possible. Senior film production major Austin Bruns, a member of Magis, explained his connection with Sursum Corda and his original desire to support their cause. “I really didn’t know anything about it until I got here,” he continued, “but I learned more about it and I thought ‘this is really powerful.’ I can see myself doing more of this in the future.” The event was the kick-off event for Hunger Awareness Week, which aims to provide awareness to the LMU community. Over 75,000 meals were packed with the help of around 400 volunteers. Volunteers came from LMU, as well as neighborhoods off campus, integrating LMU further into the community.
