In United Way of Central Maryland’s Walk a Mile Experience participants will have the opportunity to experience some of the daily challenges a family in poverty may go through over a simulated experience of one month. Families will address problems such as lack of transportation to having only enough money to pay for food or rent.
In honor of National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, this poverty simulation will illustrate homelessness and hunger in a personal and unforgettable way. On November 19th, participants assume the role of a family member living at or near the poverty level and are challenged to make life-decisions while overcoming a lack of resources and a confusing support system.
Check out The Struggle IS Real for details and contact Glorimar Quinones (gquino1@students.towson.edu) to confirm your spot. Only 40 available!
