On a typical night, there are around 653,100 homeless individuals in the United States, with 30% of them having children in their households.

In response to ongoing issues surrounding hunger and homelessness, organizations are encouraging the public to get involved by volunteering, donating, and educating themselves during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
