Over 13 million children in the United States—18% of all children—live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level—$22,050 a year for a family of four. Research shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses. Using this standard, 39% of children live in low-income families.

Come understand the issues of poverty as you get a small glimpse of being poor for a weekend.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Pack just like any other weekend trip, including sleeping bag/pillow/towel.
• Students under 18 need a permission slip.
• Most of all, bring a good, positive attitude.

Come join Bethel High School students for a weekend you won't forget! Space is limited!

COST: $45
