On January 13, the Junior League of Monmouth County partnered with Monmouth University to host the "State of Poverty - Welfare Simulation" event - an extremely powerful and insightful look at the realities of life in poverty. During the exercise, participants role played the lives of various low income families. These families interacted with a community of resources including welfare office workers, grocers, pawnbrokers, food pantry personnel, bill collections, police, employers, etc. This event is intended to help community volunteers and service providers gain a better understanding of the challenges facing so many in our county and the struggles they encounter every day.
