There is a solution to poverty!
SpreadPeace.org is launching a Circles chapter in Clark County March 15, 2024. The Circles USA model gathers middle-income and high-income volunteers to support families in poverty. Surrounded by people who have landed jobs, negotiated a lease, or managed credit card debt, for example, people experiencing poverty are more equipped to achieve long-term financial stability.
Circle participants achieve a 39% increase in income after six months and a 78% increase in income after 18 months. Participants continue to increase their income–even after the 18-month period.
Lots of volunteers needed.
Help the Homeless in Your Community & Online
Homelessness is a complex issue. It is one that requires a comprehensive solution that includes mental health, addiction, housing and educational components. Spread Peace Chapters focus on helping those who are most at risk. Once you make the decision to help the homeless and spend time with someone who is homeless you begin to understand how many of us without the support of friends and family would be able to survive a debilitating physical illness or loss of employment. Many of the people living on the streets are veterans with PTSD, kids that identify as LGBTQ, and people that lost their job and had no social support.
Help the homeless in your community and online with SpreadPeace.org.
