LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) — An annual forum is educating people in our area about the impact poverty has in creating hunger.
The Hunger Task Force hosted a poverty simulation today at the La Crosse Public Library.
The purpose of the simulation is to help remove misconceptions about poverty and increase understanding.
