Poverty Simulation Fundraiser Coming to Kearney

The Kearney Family Foundation and the Kearney Food Pantry are teaming up to host a unique community event designed to raise awareness and support for families facing financial hardship.

The Poverty Simulation, titled “Living on the Edge: Step Into Their Shoes, Help Change Their Future,” will give participants a firsthand look at the challenges many individuals and families experience when living with limited resources.

The event will take place Monday, February 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. and will serve as a fundraiser for both nonprofit organizations. Through interactive scenarios, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the difficult choices and obstacles faced by those living on the edge of poverty, while also helping support vital local services.

Organizers are currently seeking volunteers and sponsors to help make the event a success. Those interested in participating, volunteering, or sponsoring can find more information online at kearneyfoodpantry.com/living-on-the-edge.
