The Sunnyvale Community Services hosted a poverty simulation to educate participants about the struggles faced by families living in poverty. During the event, around 60 residents role-played scenarios involving financial hardships, illustrating the harsh realities of food stamps and living on low wages. With a significant percentage of the community facing hunger and homelessness, the simulation aimed to foster understanding among local leaders and residents. SCS has been organizing this educational event for 12 years, emphasizing the importance of community support for families in need.
"I'm just trying to keep a roof over our heads," Nolan said. The scenario represents the harsh reality many families face with food and housing insecurity.
"The organization specifically encourages business leaders, city officials and those enrolled in local leadership classes to take part in the simulation," said Marie Bernard, executive director of SCS.
