EATON — Nov. 13-21 was National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, and even in rural areas like Preble County, homelessness is present.
“Unfortunately, hunger and homelessness are a reality for far too many people,” Home Is The Foundation officials said in a press release last week. “The U.S. is the richest nation in the world, though 37 million Americans suffer from hunger and more than 500,000 Americans are homeless on a typical night. You may be surprised to learn that since 2020, Preble County sheltered homelessness among older individuals has more than doubled.”
“Fortunately, there were several groups of volunteers within our community that stepped up to help their neighbors in need during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week,” HIT added.

“We want to thank everyone for volunteering their time and efforts to make a difference in our community! The need is always present, especially this time of year,” the release noted.
H.I.T. Foundation’s vision is to ensure “Everyone in Preble County has a safe and affordable place to call home.”
