=Step 1= Reflect on and answer the following questions in an essay:

http://www.povertyusa.org/the-state-of-poverty/poverty-map-county/ The poverty rate in my state is 17%. In my country in my county it is 19.1%. Poverty in my state is ranked 36 out of all the states. Men are less likely to be in poverty then women. Kids under 17 have the highest poverty rates. It does surprise me that it is so high. I knew that poverty was everywhere but I didn't think that it would be so big in my county. Every now and then I see people on the streets who need help but I would never have thought that it would be 19.1%. It really makes me want to learn more and go help people that need it because I am so fortunate.

 * How does CCHD show their work for justice? Why does CCHD believe it is important for local groups or communities to be involved in the issues affecting the daily lives of people living in poverty? **

http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catholic-social-teaching/two-feet-of-love-in-action.cfm CCHD is a program that is anti poverty. It shows its work for justice by helping other organizations that help people. Its main goal is to stop poverty all together and makes sure that everyone gets what they need to live a good life and support themselves and their families financially. http://www.usccb.org/about/catholic-campaign-for-human-development/videos.cfm They also give grants out to other organizations and help young troubled people.

 * What is a good example of a charitable organization in your country or state? What do they do? How are they providing charity in your community? **
 * This is the official website of Meals on Wheels.

Meals on wheels is a great charitable organization. They get donations from people including food, money, and voluntter work, and they go and give out food. They give food to people like Elderly people that cant go out to get food, or people who cant afford food.

 * What is a good example of a social justice organization in your county or state? What do they do to provide social justice to the people they serve **
 * This is valid because it is the official website of the Boys and Girls club

The boys and girls club of Tampa is a place for children to go from ages 5 to 18. They provide Social Justice by doing whatever they can to help the kids who need it. They have this program so that kids can have a place to go that isn't on the street or home alone. They have a safe environment that teaches the kids good skills that they can use in the future when they become adults.
