Can you imagine having no shelter, no food, and no clothes? Going days without breakfast, lunch, and dinner? People in poverty are tired and weak, begging for food, feeling useless, and praying that they will survive.

Poverty affects over 40 million people living in America. In 2010, 17.2 million households were below the poverty line, with little food to survive. The number of people living in extreme poverty, or those with incomes below half the poverty line, rose to over 17 million people. It is the highest level on record since data first became available in 1975.

We are trying to persuade our legislators to get rid of the waste in our welfare system to allow people who need it to get it. Also, we are trying to get our government to create a dinner program in local schools. 

Sign this petition so that we can get the support we need to end poverty!
