The Issue
The primary goal of the organization is to help the working poor lives better lives free of stress and financial worries from lack of funds to prevent foreclosure, evictions and hunger. A qualified individual or family would be able to apply for help to get them pass an occasion financial emergency. In 2020, 37.2 million people, or 11.4 percent of the nation’s population, lived below the official poverty level, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Over six million individuals were among the “working poor” in 2020, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); this measure was essentially unchanged from 2019.
Who are the working poor? The working poor are people who spent at least 27 weeks in the labor force (that is, working or looking for work) but whose incomes still fell below the official poverty level.
Among those who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more in 2020, the number of women classified as working poor (3.4 million) was higher than that of men (3.0 million).
January 2022 marked the first month that the America.’ Rescue Plan’s expanded Child Tax Credit monthly payments expired, and child poverty rates increased sharply in response. Monthly child poverty is 4.6 percentage points (38 percent) higher in February 2022 than December 2021, representing 3.4 million additional children in poverty in February relative to December, according to the Center on Poverty & Social Policy at Columbia University.

How the Program Works
An individual requesting assistance must first complete an online application which will give the organization information needed to evaluate the request.
Upon assessment, if the organization determines that the request falls within the parameters established for the funding cycle, the individual then will be asked to provide documents substantiating the need and the work requirement. All applicants must currently be employed.
Upon proving the organization all the requested documents, a quick decision will be made whether or not to fund the request.
If the decision is made to fund the request, the organization will directly pay the bill in question. If the request is for the purchase of food, the individual will be given a food voucher to a local grocery store for which the voucher will only purchase food items.
