Poverty

I think it goes without saying (but I will say it) that I'm not a fancy fellow. That's one of the reasons I am quite pleased to report that Missouri has been ranked as one of the least expensive states to live in based on science. Yay for cheap.

If you have enough food to eat and a roof over your head, you are blessed. Many in Missouri do not have that assurance. There's one place in particular where the poverty rate is higher than anyplace else and it's a city where more than half of the people there suffer.

Project Community Connect (PCC) will be offering health services and resources to struggling families and individuals in Warrensburg, Mo on Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the University of Central Missouri's (UCM) Recreation Center. These services include free medical care, dental work, employment affairs and even haircuts.
