What would you do if you saw somebody on the street asking for money? You would probably think that they have no money and that they shouldn't be begging for money. There are many people like the ones you see on the streets, they just don't beg for money and jobs. This is called poverty. Poverty is living your life with not enough money to take care of yourself or your family. In our state the poverty rate is 16.5% and in our county the poverty rate is 19.1%. This doesn't surprise me because I always see people on the side of the road asking for money, asking to help find a job, and also asking for money. I think that the people who have a good home and have enough to live a regular life should try to help others. What if you and your family were in poverty and you were living on the streets. Wouldn't you want to be helped, or cared for. You should always help those in need of food, water, and shelter.

The CCHD shows their work for justice because they are helping the people that are in poverty by creating Two Feet of Love in Action. They believe that it is important because some people have more money than they need. Some others don't have enough money to take care of their family. They also think its important for local groups and communities to be involved in it because it will help the world to be a better place.
