Community Action Partnership of Lake County invites everyone in need to pick up free fresh produce, nonperishables and more every other Tuesday at their main office location's parking lot.

Poverty is often portrayed as a stand alone issue, but this simulation allows individuals to walk in the shoes of someone who is facing poverty and realize how complex and interconnected issues are. The Poverty Simulation breaks down stereotypes by allowing participants to step into real life situations. This interactive experience moves people to think about the realities of poverty and to talk about how communities can address poverty. It moves people to make a difference. Volunteer participants assume roles of members of up to 26 different families facing a variety of challenging circumstances. At the start, each family receives a card explaining its unique circumstances. The Simulation will last 3 hours which includes a final opportunity to discuss what they’ve learned with their peers. Register today as a volunteer participant! For more information call/email Lisa Hayes at lisa.hayes@caplakecounty.org or 847-249-4330.
