What would you do if one unexpected expense changed everything?

Join Common Heart, South Piedmont Community College, and THRIVE! Union for an interactive FREE Poverty Simulation training designed to help our community move beyond assumptions to understanding.

Friday, October 23, 2026
10:00 AM–1:00 PM
South Piedmont Community College – Old Charlotte Highway Campus
Lunch will be provided!

This immersive experience gives participants an opportunity to step into the lives of individuals and families navigating limited resources, unexpected challenges, and difficult choices.

The Poverty Simulation brings together people from across our community—including education, healthcare, human services, businesses, government, nonprofits, first responders, and community organizations—to build greater understanding and strengthen our capacity to support individuals and families.
