Poverty Awareness Week at Campbell


Did you know there's a trailer park adjacent to Campbell's campus? Beyond that, 17% of Harnett County lives in poverty. We're going to discover a lot more about poverty during Poverty Awareness Week at Campbell, April 4 - 8 on campus and in the community.

Posters will go up around campus listing the general events for the week and details of those events are below. For more information, e-mail Sara Acosta, AmeriCorps VISTA in the Office of the Campus Minister.
