I am planning to host a Thanksgiving Basket Drive, partnering with Light of Life, a local non-profit here in Pittsburgh that support the homelessness community by having a lunch and learn, a poverty seminar, and a potential service project that brings students to their physical site to volunteer in helping their free store, and food pantry that benefits the homelessness community. Some of these events are subject to change as we finalize our schedule of events.

We plan to have tables on campus the 17th and 20th of that week where we will be educating students about the food assistance programs available at UMass Boston. We will help in doing this by providing students budget recipes that can be made using ingredients available for free in our university's food pantry. Additionally, we will be collecting petition signatures for our Hunger Free Campus campaign initiative.
On the 19th we will be collaborating with another club on campus called Boston Eats, where we will be making food bags with homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that will be made in a professional kitchen using proper sanitary procedures. After we make these bags, we will be giving them out and dropping them off to people in need outside and in shelters

The Community Action Poverty Simulation breaks down stereotypes by allowing participants to step into the real life situations of others. This simulation allows individuals to walk a month in the shoes of someone who is facing poverty and realize how complex and interconnected issues of poverty really are.
Participants will take on the role of a member of a family facing a variety of challenging but typical circumstances. Each family is given a card explaining its unique circumstances and then tasked with finding food, shelter, and other basic necessities by accessing various community resources.
