More than 40% of U.S. households struggle to afford essential needs, pushing them to make difficult decisions and take significant risks every day.
The Cost of Poverty Experience is a 2.5 hour simulation that explores the lived experience of poverty firsthand through the eyes of real families. The experiential nature of this training helps organizations and communities more deeply understand the human and systemic impacts of poverty.
Come honor the legacy of Dr. King by learning about the pervasiveness of poverty.
Join us in the Andrew's Great Room on Monday, 1/19 from 9am to Noon.
This event is free, but RSVPs are required. Registration link: https://marietta.givepulse.com/event/720337-cost-of-poverty-experience-cope-simulation
