HOSA-DeBakey Chapter

"Attention DeBakey HOSA! You know that feeling you get during second period when you are starving and can't wait for lunch. For many people, hunger and malnourishment are constant problems. September is Hunger Action Month. To raise awareness, there are three things you can do:

1) Write "on an empty stomach I can't blank" on a plate and post the picture on social media.

2) Take a spoon selfie!

3) Volunteer at your local food bank! (counts toward Barbara James Service hours)

There is always something you can do to get involved and help someone in need :)"
