Over the past two weekends, students across the country volunteered their time and raised money to fight hunger and homelessness on the local, national and  international level.  Coordinated through the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, the event has so far raised 70,000 dollars, included over 2000 volunteers, and was held on 100 campuses.  Many of the events were organized through local Student PIRG chapters, which ranged in size from a small group of students to hundreds of students.  Currently, Fairfield University has held the largest event which included close to 500 volunteers and raised close to $10,000, though Creighton, which is hosting their cleanup this upcoming weekend, may top that.
