Student Groups Team Up to Feed the Homeless
10/24/2018
Three student groups at IU McKinney, the Black Law Students Association, Student Bar Association, and Second Chance Re-Entry Assistance Program, known as S.C.R.A.P., teamed up on Saturday, October 19, to put together some lunches to take to to the American Legion Mall, the park directly across from Central Library in downtown Indianapolis. The students met at IU McKinney at 9:30 a.m. to assemble the lunches, and then took them to the park at 1:30 p.m. to deliver them directly to the homeless.
"We decided to implement this project because we are aware of the global crisis to food stability in the homeless population," said BLSA President Eric Hewlett. "We wanted to present the students with a unique and heartfelt opportunity to provide the basic human need — food — to those who cannot afford it. This way we can be a part of the solution to hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition."
