Understanding Poverty Awareness Month


Understanding Poverty Awareness Month
Poverty Awareness Month, observed each January, aims to highlight the realities of poverty and inspire collective action to combat it. With millions living below the poverty line, this month is a reminder of the ongoing work needed to create a more equitable society.

The Realities of Poverty:
Poverty isn’t just about financial struggle; it affects access to food, housing, healthcare, and education. The cycle of poverty often perpetuates inequality, making it harder for individuals to achieve stability.

How You Can Help:

  1. Educate Yourself: Learn about the systemic causes of poverty and its impact on communities.
  2. Donate: Support organizations that provide food, shelter, and resources to those in need.
  3. Volunteer: Your time can make a difference—whether it’s helping at a food bank or mentoring someone seeking employment.
  4. Advocate: Use your voice to promote policies that address poverty and its root causes.

Poverty Awareness Month is a call to action. Together, we can build a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.


"When I first came to Dr. Park, I was very reserved & I didn't know what to think, much less how this was all going to work out? Well, I've been with Dr. Park for close to 10 years now & I couldn't imagine where I would have been or be without him. He is without exception the best doctor I've ever had the privilege of seeing. Dr. Park not only listens, but he also understands, and he works with you to get through your problem. He doesn't condemn or judge you, not once has he ever belittled me, or any problem &/or situation I may have, he understands life & has a huge heart. I know he has truly made a great difference in my life, from my career to my family life, & more, he's shown, & given, me a great deal of guidance & clarity. I would absolutely 1000% recommend Dr. Park to anyone. Once you meet him it will be self-evident, I think he's truly one of a kind & I'm grateful..."
