A Marion County Poverty Conference will be held next week at the Knoxville High School Media Center.

The conference will be led by Jayson Henry, CEO of the Well. The event is free and open to the public. A few of the items of discussion include what motivates social class values and behaviors. How middle-class systems and structures clash with those living in poverty and poverty’s generational impact on families.
