These figures only cover men and only those served by the Dubuque Rescue Mission. These figures do not reflect women and families served by Hope House or The Washington Neighborhood Shelter. Camp Keane, sponsored by the Social Work Club, Sociology Club and the Peace and Justice Community at Loras College, will be begin at 6 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 5, and end at 7 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 6. Homelessness is a reality in Dubuque and for one night homelessness will become a reality for 100 Loras College students. The students invest themselves into the construction of a simulated homeless city.
Students receive one bowl of soup for dinner and a bagel for breakfast.
The volunteers will collect canned goods and monetary donations to be given to the Hope House, Dubuque. This will hopefully be a meaningful event for the students who participate, and spur students, both participants and non-participants, into a mindset of empathy and action. All canned goods and monetary donations will be given to the local shelters.
