Beginning today, the Vanderbilt chapter of Habitat for Humanity will be sponsoring its weeklong event, Act! Speak! Build! Week, in which it will aim to raise awareness around campus about homelessness.

The first event of the week will be Tuesday night. The group will host a screening of "Dark Days," a documentary that follows a group of people living in an abandoned section of the New York City subway system. The movie screening will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Buttrick Hall Room 101.

Wednesday night, the main event of the week - the Hunger Banquet - will be held in the Rand Board of Trust Room, beginning at 6 p.m. Food will be provided as attendees listen to a guest speaker.

Throughout the week, students are encouraged to donate a fourth meal side that Vandy Habitat will then give to the homeless. Students can donate this side every day during the week at The Commons Center.
