A Poverty Simulation
Fort Street’s Open Door Ministry Hosts Event on Poverty — A POVERTY SIMULATION!
Nearly 2,000 families in Detroit are homeless. Even more are living in poverty. A Poverty Simulation is a powerful, tangible opportunity for people to learn about poverty, while engaging in conversation about solutions to poverty and the symptoms of it. Participation in this Poverty Simulation will shine new light on the struggle many families and individuals have in the journey to self-sufficiency.This event is facilitated by a nonprofit agency in Detroit called COTS (Create Opportunities To Succeed). COTS assists families in reaching their housing, economic, health, education, and career goals through coaching, mentorship and support, as they overcome homelessness and break the cycle of poverty for the next generation and beyond.Join us on Tuesday, April 30, 6:30 – 9 p.m. at Fort Street.Click here for a flyer.Dinner Served at 5:45 p.m.FREE but Registration is Recommended:Table Setters Workshop
Open Door Guest Testimonials
Murray was homeless for a while after his marriage and business fell apart. Alcohol abuse and criminal activity sent him into a downward spiral, and he was a regular visitor at Open Door. Eventually he got the treatment he needed, and today he frequents Open Door to encourage others. He says, “I love to give back because I was given to by others. I got a second chance, and I will not forget what a difference it made in my life.”
Charles was homeless and struggling when he first came to Open Door about 20 years ago. Today, he has an apartment and a job but still stops in to chat with the volunteers, and depart kind words of encouragement to those still struggling. Charles says Open Door has always been a safe and welcome haven, especially during his darkest days. He comes to lift others up the way he was lifted up so many years before.You may help to support the Open Door Ministry. Please click here for information about how to do it.
