1 in 7 children in Essex County are impacted by severe poverty
Pre-pandemic in 2019, more than 14% of children in Essex County lived below the national poverty level of $26,500/year for a family of 4. Those numbers are expected to have risen dramatically over the last two years.
Need for local children & families is at record levels
Applications for holiday help from local families are rising to an all-time high. Many of our families are having to make choices between putting food on their tables or giving their children holiday gifts.
