Frustration. Anger. Sadness. Panic.
These were just a few words used to describe the emotions felt by participants in today's Poverty Simulation.
One-third of Bartholomew County families work, yet still struggle to make ends meet. Today's exercise provided a glimpse into the life of a low-income family living on a fixed income and the difficult decisions they are often faced with in today's society.
At United Way we are working to help motivated people step out of poverty and into self-sufficiency in Bartholomew County.

Over one-third of people in Bartholomew County don’t earn enough to make ends meet.
It’s difficult for those of us who have enough to truly understand the situations that families living in poverty experience every day.
That’s why we are inviting you to walk a mile the shoes of those facing poverty by participating in United Way’s Poverty Simulation.

Today we celebrated the retirement of United Way's first and only morning receptionist, Ann King.
Ann began working for United Way of Bartholomew County in 1997. Over the years, Ann has been the first helpful face for community members entering the Doug Otto United Way Center. She has guided thousands of children, adults and families find their way to the offices of helpful community services. She has also been a kind ear to the many employees of our local nonprofits who stop by her desk each morning on their way to work.
Thank you, Ann, for all your years of service and for making each of our lives a little brighter with your presence. We will think of you each time we walk by the newly-minted Ann King Conference Room in the Doug Otto United Way Center.

Lend hand to those trying to escape poverty
"At subsistence level, it’s a daily struggle to make ends meet, especially if young children are in the family. You may even be surprised at who some of these people are. They attend your church. They are serving in restaurants and stores. They work in factories that build goods. They may even be you."
Thanks to Ginger Hiemenz Lirette for sharing your experience with United Way's Poverty Simulation in today's The Republic newspaper.
