LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS - AUGUST 16: George, who is homeless, panhandles along a street in Lawrence on August 16, 2019 in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Currently one-third of Lawrence's children live in poverty, 36 percent of residents receive aid under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and just over 24 percent of residents live in poverty.
