AAUW Carbondale Branch to Host Luncheon on Homelessness in Southern Illinois
CARBONDALE, Ill. – The Carbondale Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) will host its annual Soup & Salad Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the SIU Tedrick Welcome Center, 1264 Lincoln Drive, Carbondale. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to noon, followed by the program from noon to 1 p.m.
This year’s program, “No Place to Call Home: Understanding Homelessness in Our Community,” features Dr. Clover Johnson of the Forum on Homelessness. Johnson will talk about what homelessness looks like in the Carbondale area, who it affects, and how residents can help.
“Homelessness is a growing problem in our region, and our members want to learn more about it,” said Jo Poshard, president of the AAUW Carbondale Branch. “We hope the community will join us to listen, learn, and support the local organizations doing this work.”
The luncheon is open to the public. The suggested donation is $10, payable by cash, check, or online through Zeffy. Proceeds benefit organizations that aid individuals experiencing homelessness.
