Go home today and talk to someone about the #poverty problem in Orlando #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

We've got to talk about it until the community can't avoid it. We need to find a solution. #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

If you're an elected official and you're running on the tree canopy in Winter Park, you don't get it. #PovCon

#YouDontKnowTheHalfOfIt -- true! The half that is struggling to make ends meet. #PovCon #Orlando

Orlando is the largest community in the United States not on a body of water. No port = no manufacturing jobs = low wages #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

Everyone is looking for someone to blame when it comes to poverty. #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

The federal poverty line was once based on the price of milk. How should we measure it today? #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

The poverty rate in Central Florida is increasing, not decreasing. We must do something about it. #PovCon

Great quote shared at the Central Florida Poverty Conference #povcon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

For many people in our community, if you can't drive, you can't get food. #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

Food insecurity: worried about having enough food to make it through the week; skipping meals to stretch the budget #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

220,000 people in Orange County are struggling with food insecurity #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

17.5% of Floridians are food insecure. #PovCon

[UnitedAgainstPoverty @StepUp_Florida]

We used to talk about #hunger but the conversation changed to discuss food insecurity. #PovCon
