Auburn students fight hunger

The Auburn University Student Government Association has passed a resolution to donate 19 cents per Auburn student on an annual basis to the campus-wide grassroots hunger awareness, relief and Advocacy campaign.

Based on this year's enrollment, the total SGA donation is $4,856.

The War on Hunger Campaign began in 2004 when Auburn was invited by the World Food Programme, the largest humanitarian organization in the world, to be its lead academic partner in a student-led hunger awareness and consciousness-raising effort.
