Who are the poor and needy in the Quad Cities ?
The poor and needy fall into three basic categories. The situationally poor are people who are experiencing hunger on a temporary basis. Perhaps a layoff, divorce, or illness has forced a person to ask for food assistance at the pantry level. The second group is the working poor. In today’s economy it takes two full time workers earning minimum wage to support a family of four above the poverty level. The final category is the chronically poor. These are people who slip into and out of poverty on a regular basis.
