The 7 poorest counties in the State of Illinois are part of the 28 counties of Southern Illinois. It is the mission of Poverty Services of Catholic Charities of Southern Illinois to "break the cycle of poverty in our area". Although it is unrealistic to expect we can end all poverty overnight, we can enable our neighbors who want to break free from the shackles of poverty to become financially independent. Through a combined effort with various local organization programs and State of Illinois agencies, Poverty Services is undertaking a massive appeal for volunteers to assist the poor in our own cities and counties. The goal is to support and encourage our own neighbors to break this cycle of poverty and successfully make the transition to secure employment and financial independence. |
