Homeless and Hunger Week!

This weekend, our wonderful crunch berry city hosted the Cedar Rapids Sleep Out for the Homeless.  Approximately 150 people participated, and the event raised $11,000.00 toward the local shelters.  Channel 2 were also in attendance to broadcast the sleep out. 

There was a cardboard shelter building competition for everyone to build homes out of sheets of cardboard and packing tape.  The Coe women's basketball team won an award for the most interesting cardboard box. 


Noel Rozum from the Office of Service-Learning and Campus Engagement brought a team of 13 under the name of Team Coe to the event as well.  Team Coe raised $137.00 which contributed to the $11,000.00 that the event made.  The team also made 150 fleece hats, 6 blankets, and 6 scarves all to be donated to the homeless.
