Poverty Roundtable Hastings Prince Edward
Creating Community The Poverty Roundtable is working to bring people together to create community with a goal in mind: Poverty Reduction. It is about moving beyond individual experiences to understand poverty as something that is happening not just in our communities, but to our communities.
Creating community means that we move away from the isolation and alienation that poverty creates, we shift our collective attitudes towards poverty and start to build healthy community.
The emphasis of the Roundtable between 2016-2019 is Creating Community for Poverty Reduction, a project funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation
Our vision is to build a community where everyone experiences a standard of living which is sufficient for their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being without compromise of dignity and self-respect.
