DID YOU KNOW? Many more individuals than ever before are working multiple jobs to make ends meet. This puts many families in crisis, unable to provide basic care. 15.4% of children live in poverty 6.5% live in extreme poverty 1 in 7 households are food insecure, and many will not eat at all today. In New Jersey 15.4% of children (under 17 years old) live in poverty and 6.5% live in extreme poverty. In 2013, the need for Catholic Charities services was significant.
