I bet you've never thought about the people that live in poverty in your county, state or even your country. You're probably worried about getting the new IPhone or that math test on Thursday. The poverty in Florida 17%, in the Hillsborough county the poverty rate is 17.1%. The question is does this surprise you? It doesn't surprise me, you know why, because I see so many kids that just walk by the homeless. They don't do anything, Most just laugh at the people. But on the other hand I am a bit surprised because in Florida we have so many organizations working to stop poverty**. (poverty map)[]** **(poverty USA) [] **

Have you ever heard of an organization called CCHD, CCHD is a domestic non-poverty organization. They work for justice for the people in need. CCHD works for justice by making sure that the under privileged people/kids are being well cared for, and so that kids they aren't being discriminated. They also work on feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving water to the thirsty. They have a very strong and well-known faith structure. CCHD believes that it is important that all local groups or communities to be involved because then we have more help. And since they are local we need to help people in our community. **(CCHD videos)[] (CCHD website)[]**

There are two types of organizations: charitable organizations or social justice organizations. In this paragraph we are going to talk about charitable organizations. My charitable organization is Metropolitan ministries. There services are designed to help children and families, no matter how serious their needs. Whether they need to get off the streets at night, or they’re seeking education so they can get a job that will support their family. They provide food, housing, help with children, life skills, and resources. And there are many volunteering options that anybody of any age can take. **(metropolitan ministries website)**

The Salvation Army is one of the best social justice organizations that I have seen. They have so many services. And i was very surprised when i saw all of the services that fall under the category of social justice. The Salvation Army has many beliefs, and one is that there is only one God. They also believe that Christ died for our sins. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. The salvation army has a tremendous amount of services that they provide. And they are very important services. There are three categories support fro adults, children and families, international, and disaster relief. In total there are about 14 services that they provide. It may not seem like much but its has made a huge difference. **(Salvation army website)**

Have you ever thought about how you show love and walk humbly with God. I show love by signing up for many volunteering events. I will sometimes walk by a store, and if i see a homeless person i will give them food or money. And i also donate clothes, shoes, or any necessary essentials. I walk humbly with God in my life by helping the needy. Like I said before i donate clothes and other essentials, because it actually does make a difference. A single mom good get a nice pantsuit and go to an interview for work. That pantsuit makes a big difference. And i also try to go to church every Sunday. And if I don't i pray at home for those that are in need, because in reality they are the ones that need the prayers. Walking humbly with God doesn't just mean following his Ten Commandments, it also means loving one another. **(got information from myself)**
