As January draws to a close, let's reflect on the significance of Poverty Awareness Month. Consider that Stepping Stones, our local food pantry, assists more than 1,600 individuals monthly. Additionally, in the 2020 school year, Helping Hands Pantry on campus supported 65 students. Raising awareness about this widespread issue can contribute to reducing stigma and fostering community unity.
