	The November Friends and Neighbors Service Day takes place during National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Projects are geared to serve the impoverished men, women, and children of Los Angeles through food deliveries, donation assembly, and fundraising. Whether volunteers choose to register as part of a service team, work with faculty as part of SCitizen, or become a Service Mentor on a project with high school students, they will gain a deeper understanding of the broader social issues inflicting thousands of Los Angelenos.
