The National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness (NSCAHH) works with a coalition of students and community members across the country to end hunger and homelessness through education, service and action. Started a decade ago by the PIRGs and USA for Africa, NSCAHH is now the largest student network fighting hunger and homelessness in the country, with more than 600 participating campuses in 45 states. 

In the last sixteen years, we have helped many campuses to organize Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Weeks; held an annual conference enabling hundreds of students and administrators to learn about the issues and share project ideas; established Food Salvage programs to provide surplus cafeteria and restaurant food to food banks and shelters; developed Project Partnership to build community and campus coalitions; organized political efforts; and, through the Annual Hunger Cleanup, involved some 110,000 volunteers in service projects to raise more than $1 million for domestic and international relief.
