Join SVPP for Poverty Simulation

(From the September 2008 Newsletter)

One of the most important and interesting events you can attend this Fall will be SVPP's Poverty Simulation on Thursday, September 25. This activity allows Partners and guests to experience the trials of a month living in poverty through a simulation designed by Community Action of Missouri and led by professionals from Oregon State University. In the span of two hours, participants will experience a month of poverty by assuming the role of a 26-year-old single mother of three with a minimum wage job; aging grandparents caring for their grandchildren; or, a single man down on his luck.

We are cosponsoring this event with Portland Impact so space is limited. If you wish to attend as a Partner or a guest, please RSVP early at rsvp@svpportland.org.
