In 2018 the United Church Women in the PMRC created “Poverty Dolls” to be presented to the Members of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia to remind them of the seriousness of child poverty in our Province. The photo below is of the January 21, 2019 presentation of these dolls to former MLAÂ Shane Simpson, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, by UCW members Carolyn Matheson (left) and Karen Hoshal (right, UCW President 2018).
