Media coverage reinforces inaccuracies about the causes of homelessness. Stories frequently conflate homelessness, mental illness & substance use disorders, which contributes to the false narrative that homelessness is a failure of personal responsibility. americanprogress.org/issues/poverty…
Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, & for the approximately 800,000 federal employees effected by the shutdown, concerns for mortgage payments, utilities and even #food abound. Via @NPR #ShutdownStories npr.org/2018/12/25/680…
When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.

Some of our student athletes and former players went to the Arbors assisted living in Amherst. We visited and played cards with the residents this Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!
Here's to Canes Football and Coach Ehorn for spending a couple hours at the Arbors Assisted Living at Amherst on Christmas Eve! Good one boys!
How grateful are we? The amazing @UMassDining staff supported UMACC during the "Have Lunch on Us!" event. 20 donations came in during and immediately after this event! Thank you @KenToong and your incredible team. Faculty & staff donate to UMACC now at umass.edu/umacc.
So, UMACC collected $25 in the donation jars during the "Have Lunch on Us!" event. We are going to let our social media followers decide which local nonprofit should get the donation. Please comment with your choice. Whoever gets the most comments here and on Facebook wins!
