RE: The Spirit of Christmas is Helping Others ... I Try To Do My Part
"According to Statistics Canada, about 12% of the county lives below the poverty line. Our programs across the county are managing to reach about half of those in need. "
Oh my gosh! This is incredible, @shadowspub! We can only reach a small fraction of families in need here in Appalachia with outreach like this.
Am proud to know both you and ShadowsPub, wishing you all a very nice Holiday
b.a.
Hope you had a great holiday as well @battleaxe
there are some areas in this county that is quite affluent. It's a convenient distance from Toronto in that people are close enough to enjoy the benefits of a large city but far enough away to be in the country. That affluence makes a difference when it comes to running programs trying to reach low income families.
