Thousands of Iowa children and families live in poverty every day. As the economic downturn continues, this group of people struggling to provide basic needs for their families only grows.
Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI) is very concerned with the impact of continued poverty rates on the state and on those they serve through many programs and services. They feel that as Iowans, we have a responsibility to respond to this problem.
In an effort to show the negative effects of severe poverty, LSI is inviting you and your staff to participate in the “In Their Shoes” poverty simulation on Monday, February 16th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Elim Christian Fellowship in Des Moines.
To read more information about the poverty simulation, go to the events section of the LSI Web site or click here.
To attend, please email Kathy Miller at kathy.miller@lsiowa.org or call 866-584-5293.
