1. U.S.A, Florida, and our County all have a lot of poverty, but we have charities and organizations trying to prevent that. The poverty rate in Hillsborough County is 19-21%. The state ranking for poverty in Florida is 36. The overall poverty rate is 17. I am not surprised by this because I know there aren't really many poor people in Florida but there is quite a lot still but compared to other states not as much.

2. The ways I show love and walk humbly in my life with God is that I go to church every Sunday and I help teach Pre-K in faith formation. I help teach the Pre-K class about God. I also pray every night before I go to bed saying a prayer. I normally pray about the people in my family and that I learn more about God and be more holy. I am also a alter server. I normally alter serve on Sundays at 9:00 A.M. Alter serving is important to me because I like to serve at God's alter.

3. CCHD stands for Catholic Campaign for Human Development they are an organization that work to help end poverty. CCHD shows their work for justice by the belief that those who are directly affected by unjust systems and structures. That they have the best insight into knowing how to change them is central to CCHD. CCHD works to break the cycle of poverty by helping low-income people participate in decisions that affect their lives, families, and communities. CCHD has made over 9,000 grants to support people living in poverty break the cycle of poverty, and over 200 organizations are supported annually. Hundreds of smaller projects are funded through the 25 percent share of the CCHD collection retained by dioceses.

4. A good example of a charitable organization in Hillsborough County is the Ronald McDonald House Charity. Ronald McDonald House charities mission is to create, find, and support programs that improve the health of children. They are providing charity by helping children with their health. If you have bad health and can't really afford it can be because of that family is in poverty. If not and they are having health problems that can lead to poverty due to a lot of money to heal them and if they get older and have same health problems people might not want to give them a job if most of the time they will be sick. The way it is funded is when people buy a happy meal some of the money goes to the Ronald McDonald House Charity there is also a jug on the counter of McDonalds if you decide to donate. The Ponseti Method for treatment of clubfoot was developed at the UI by the late Ignacio Ponseti. Low-cost, low-tech, and highly effective with a 95 percent success rate.

5. A good example of a social justice organization is the Salvation Army. Their mission is to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care, and to rebuild broken homes and broken lives. The Salvation Army of Florida serves as a resource to the field. This Salvation is the the Salvation Army of the Florida Division. The Salvation Army is part of the religious umbrella that receives faith-based governmental funding. A $10 donation feeds a disaster survivor for one day. A $30 donation provides one food box, containing staple foods for a family of four, or one household cleanup kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets and other cleaning supplies.
