We're Part of the Penny Project
- 13% of Massachusetts children live in poverty
 - In 2007, 182,000 children in Massachusetts were living in
poverty
- 21 cities/towns in Massachusetts have a child poverty rate
of 20% or higher
- 1 in 3 children in 35 cities/towns in Massachusetts
lives in a family struggling to put food on the table.
- Poverty undermines success in schools.
- Poverty keeps children in the cold.
- Child poverty is rooted in job losses over time.
Pennies collected are used in local poverty efforts. Much of Trinity's collection will go to the Arlington Food Pantry.
