"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
​- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Founded in 1987 by a group of UCLA students, Hunger Project at UCLA is an undergraduate-run service organization that addresses issues concerning houselessness, housing insecurity, and food insecurity in the Greater Los Angeles Area. Our mission is to not only provide immediate aid, but also to spread education and awareness to our UCLA community about the structures and intersectional issues which contribute to and uphold houselessness in the United States. As a community of volunteers and student leaders, we are dedicated to our goal of helping end the cycle of houselessness and bringing students to the front lines of this fight against inequity.

With over 60 volunteers, our partnerships with 4 local community organizations and our quarterly campus-wide events hosted by our Advocacy Committee all help to address and combat the root causes of houselessness in our nearby neighborhoods.
