GIVE Center Moment:

The ONE Week Campaign is a project seeking to raise awareness and action towards world hunger and poverty on campus. The campaign will run Nov. 16-22. Multiple organizations will be supporting ONE, such as The GIVE Center, Hands on Milledgeville, Gamma Sigma Sigma, and Art Tank. As a national organization, ONE seeks to end hunger and make poverty history. The GCSU committee organizing the week represent the voice of various organizations.

As Missy Granish, a servant leader for ONE, says, “Poverty is a problem everywhere from Milledgeville to Africa. Many of the events from ONE Week will go to support people from Milledgeville as well as people from around the world.”
