2. Statistics
 According to Defeat the Debt’s website,
America is $14 trillion in debt and owes
China $1.16 trillion.
 The article Economic Signs Positive, but
Hiring Still Lags talks about how the
national unemployment rate is 9.1%.
 The Census Bureau’s new report states
there are 49.1 million Americans living in
poverty.

3. Because of those alarming
statistics, we knew we wanted to
make a change.

4. Why We Picked the Metro Detroit Area
 The unemployment rate is higher than the
national average. It’s about 11%.
 We’re Michiganders. We want to help
people in the community.

5. The Baldwin Center
 is the largest feeding operation in Pontiac
 serves the unemployed, homeless, those
on fixed incomes, and children
 helps people mentally (mentoring
children), physically (yoga classes and
gives people nutritious food – fruits &
vegetables), emotionally (talk on the
phone to talk about your financial
problems and they calm you down), and
spiritually (church)
