Poverty Impacts Us All. Are you doing your part?

Given the persistence of poverty in our city, it is understandable that many consider cutting poverty in half an impossible task. This is not true. Our experience has taught us a lot about effective strategies to provide opportunities for those living in poverty. Now is the time to capitalize on these lessons, add new thinking, and tackle the problem.
