Did you know?
• According to Feeding American, 32% of the combined tri-county (St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties) population faces food insecurity. 49% of those are children.
• In 2020, the Care Service Food Pantry provided groceries to 631 unduplicated individuals – 263 of these individuals were children.
• Food pantries are essential as many households that experience food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs.
• In the tri-county area, an average of 10.5% of the population faces hunger.
• More than 30,000 people in the tri-county area are living below the poverty line.

Event: Week Two Challenge
Week Two Challenge
To participate in the Week Two Challenge complete the online activity SPENT to learn more about the tough decisions that face our Care Service clients. This poverty simulation was created several years ago for Urban Ministries of Durnam. It is just as relevant today as when it was created and the decisions you will make while playing the game are a small sample of the tough choices our clients must make every day.
Once you’ve completed the online simulation be sure to enter your participation.
“Why do so few make it out of poverty? I can tell you from experience it is not because some have more merit than others. It is because being poor is a high-risk gamble. The asymmetry of outcomes for the poor is so enormous because it is so expensive to be poor. Imagine losing a job because your phone was cut off or blowing off an exam because you spent the day in the ER dealing with something that preventative care would have avoided completely. Something as simple as that can spark a spiral of adversity almost impossible to recover from. The reality is that when you’re poor, if you make one mistake, you’re done. Everything becomes a sudden-death gamble.” – from Why Poverty is Like a Disease by Christian H. Cooper.

Event: Week Four Challenge
Week Four Challenge
In the first three months of this year the Care Service Street Outreach team made 177 contacts with homeless individuals living on the streets of our tri-county area. Many of these homeless clients must carry everything they own with them.
Your Week Four Challenge is to gather all the things you would want to have with you if you were forced out of your home and had no where to live or sleep. You can only choose to take things that you can carry in a backpack, bag, or piece of luggage. Once you’ve packed your bag or backpack take it with you on a walk/hike – the distance is up to you but remember that the homeless in our community carry their belongings with them all day every day.
Be sure to log in and enter your participation to receive your extra entry in our attendance prize drawing.
