October is End Poverty Month. It's a time to remember that the issue of poverty is complex, ambiguous, challenging and expensive to ignore. Poverty affects individuals and communities. Poverty means fewer choices, more stress, poorer health, children suffering and growing inequality. Poverty is a human rights issue.
Poverty could happen to anyone. In reality, we are all just one wrong turn, one life change, or one misfortune away from needing help.
Join us this October to learn about poverty in our community. Learn More...
