Poverty Simulation 2020

Poverty Simulation

The Poverty Simulation is designed to help participants begin to comprehend what it might be like to live in poverty and survive from week to week. Participants will experience some of the daily challenges a family in poverty may endure over a simulated experience of one month. This experience will take two to three hours. This event is brought to you by the East Texas Human Needs Network.
