Saturday, Feb 2, 2019 at the Boys and Girls Club in South Walton | Registration @ 8:30 am |
You are invited to join Caring and Sharing of South Walton, Communities of Transformation, and the United Way of Walton and Okaloosa Counties from 9 a.m. to noon on Feb 2 for a Poverty Simulation Experience that offers participants (aged 10+) a glimpse into the lives of low-income individuals and families living in our community. Following the experience, participants will have the opportunity to learn how they can get more involved in local poverty alleviation efforts. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Childcare may be available upon request for children ages 6 months to 9 yrs old. This event is FREE (but registration is required to guarantee space and request childcare), and open to anyone interested in learning more about the lives and needs of under-resourced families in our community, up to 120 people. Donations to support local poverty alleviation efforts through Caring and Sharing's new Communities of Transformation Initiative are welcome. Checks may be made out to Caring and Sharing of South Walton, with "COT" in the memo line. Those wishing to volunteer for the event (training will be at 7:30a.m. on the day of the event) may indicate this on the online registration form. For more information, please contact Emily Proctor, emilyproctor.cot@gmail.com, 850-783-0237. |
