It is difficult for those of us who have enough to truly understand the situations that families living in poverty experience every day – the choices they have to make, and the fears and frustrations they feel. That is why we are inviting you to walk a mile in the shoes of those facing poverty by participating in the Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) The CAPS provides participants with the opportunity to assume the role of a low-income family member living on a limited budget. The experience is divided into four 15-minute sessions each of which represents one week in which you must provide for your family and maintain your home. As one participant commented, “This welfare simulation dramatically demonstrates how much time and energy many families have to give just to survive from day to day.” RSVP by visiting www.insccap.org/pages/online_event_registration
