Cleveland Ranked First in Childhood Poverty
Cleveland is the second poorest among large cities and first in child poverty among large cities. This past year, 5,700 Cleveland adults worked full time and still did not earn enough to be above poverty.
Cleveland continues to have the worst child poverty rate of any large city. In 2023, nearly 35,000 of Cleveland’s children lived in poverty.
Today we are serving 67 children ages 0-17 and we invite you to join us through clothing donations, volunteering, or donating $2.88 to feed a resident in crisis. Together, we can transform lives in our city!
