All Midnight Runs begin at 8 p.m. in the Gans
Conference Room, Flynn Hall.
Midnight Run is a challenging experience where students have a
hands-on encounter of the homeless of our city. Runs are held
every other week throughout the semester. During a Run,
students gather to make bagged meals for the night. Then they
distribute the meals, along with clothes and toiletries, to those
in need in Manhattan. Transportation is provided. Seats
are limited for each run. If you can’t participate in a run but
want to help, you can always donate needed items.

feed the hungry.
