ABOUT THE EVENT
As a kick-off to Hunger and Homelessness Awareness week the Phoenixville YMCA, Orion and members of the Chester County Bridges Coalition will be hosting a Poverty Simulation. As an interactive experience, the Poverty Simulation is designed to help participants understand the daily challenges faced by individuals and families living in poverty. During the simulation, participants are assigned roles within a family and tasked with managing basic needs like housing, food, and transportation over simulated weeks. The goal is to promote empathy and awareness of the systemic barriers that make it difficult for those in poverty to break the cycle.
