AZP members participated in an event run by Buckeyes against Hunger, an
OSU student group that raises awareness about homelessness and also
raises money for the MidOhio Food Bank. The event, called Cardboard
City, gave our members insight into what it would be like to be homeless
by requiring them to make a shelter out of a box and sleep outside in
it. The night also consisted of activities to learn the facts about
homelessness and also hear from a representative of a local shelter.
This was a great experience for our members and allowed them to learn
about ways they could volunteer in the Columbus community. Our AZP
members personally raised $250 for the MidOhio Food Bank and would like
to contribute more by doing more activities in the future.
