More than 1.6 million people receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year across the country – many among the nation’s poor. This includes:
3.4 million free meals were served at shelters and in feeding programs
4500 people were helped when an emergency or natural disaster struck
5050 children went to Salvation Army camps
The effects of poverty are quite serious and deserve our attention:
It requires people to make painful choices between necessities, such as paying the rent or feeding their kids, going to the dentist or buying a monthly bus pass.
It often leads to hunger or unhealthy eating, poor health, interrupted schooling, homelessness or poor quality housing, substance abuse, crime, violence and despair.
Those who experience poverty have a shorter lifespan, and often suffer physically and emotionally.
Those who live in poverty often require higher than average use of publicly funded programs like welfare, hospitals, police and correctional services which increases taxes.
