[] [] these are valid sources because they The poverty rate in Florida is 17. Our county, Hillsborough County, is 19.1. This doesn't surprise me because I am constantly hearing about people losing their jobs and seeing people on the streets.
 * **What is the poverty rate in your state? In your county? Does this surprise you?**


 * **What are the ways that you show love and walk humbly in your life with God?**

I show love and walk humbly in my life with God by making donations to the less fortunate people. My family and I always pray for those who don't have the opportunities that we have, like going to this wonderful Catholic school and having food, shelter, and clothing.

[] this source is valid because it is the official website of the organization United States Conference of Catholic Bishops CCHD shows their work for justice through charitable works, which is the other foot in the Two Feet of Love in Action. They feed the hungry, cloth the naked, care for and heal the sick, visit those in prison, and much more. They assist others both locally and globally to meet their immediate, short term needs. Some of these include providing food, shelter, clothing, or financial assistance to help those in need.

[] A perfect example of a charitable organization in my area is Metropolitan Ministries. Metropolitan Ministries provides services for those in poverty, no matter how serious, that range anywhere from providing a night's stays to helping find education to provide for their family. They provide food, housing, life skills, and resources, as well as developmental services for children. They have locations in Hillsborough County, Polk County, Pinellas County, and Pasco County, all of which do everything they can to give hope to those in poverty. They encourage volunteers to give people who are more fortunate a look on how life is for those who don't have the opportunities we have. Metropolitan Ministries doesn't only help people survive in poverty; they give them the tools they need to not only get out of poverty, but also survive once they break free. It is run by Tim Marks, President and Chief Executive Officer.

[] A good example of a social justice organization in my area is the Moses House. The Moses House is a non-profit organization with a drive to improve the quality of life for children and youth in poor conditions who are living in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood in Tampa, Florida. They do so by teaching about social justice, using art-based and creative expression and learning, and other ways that get the people in poverty in that area involved in their lives to make them better. The biggest way they help those in poverty is through art and making them appreciate their heritage. In doing so, they have a higher opinion of themselves, raising their hopes and giving them a better attitude towards striving to get out of poverty.
