“There are five key factors that impact poverty - economic and family security, education, food and nutrition, health, housing and energy. We call these the five elements of poverty. When there is a struggle in one of these areas, the other areas in a person’s life suffer.” Missouri Community Action Network.
Reflection: Since the areas of poverty are so interconnected, I am reminded when I help to relieve one area for those in need, the other areas will benefit as well. Reflection by Helen Collins. Interested in joining MMOC’s Peace and Justice Ministry? Call Saralou Hendrickson 314.440.2020
