Words Against Hunger

This Sunday on campus at the Moose Cafe, there will be an event held by the LIT Club, the Social Action Committee, and CAVA called "Words Against Hunger". It will be a fun event because it is a food drive as well as a concert (a local bluegrass band will be playing - The Woodtones) with readings in between songs. I hope a lot of people come to this event. *hint hint*

I'm supposed to either write something to read at the event or simply find something someone else wrote to read. The subject can be about hunger/starvation, homelessness, or any other social justice issue. It would be easiest to look up something someone else has written on the subject. I would. I need to keep telling myself that.

I've been contemplating writing on the subject of homelessness for the past few months, but it' hard to tackle the subject when it's a very possible future for me and my family. Everyone is in financial trouble with the economy, but one of my worries really is that my parents will loose the house. It's possible, probable, and scary. Even if I do finish some short essay or other on that, I don't think I'd be able to read it without crying in front of the entire audience. And that would be way too embarassing.

So, I need to find something someone else wrote. Fast.
