The needs of a community differ depending upon whom you focus. For instance, while some may be concerned about not being able to eat at a restaurant every day, others who are less fortunate may be concerned about not eating every day at all.
Unfortunately, like it is in most cities around the world, poverty is present in Reims. There are people here that don't have a home, food to eat every day or something to keep them warm in the cold. In the country of France, there are an estimated 100,000-150,000 homeless people. Therefore, there is always a need for those who will give their time and effort to alleviate the poor's suffering.
The need to alleviate poverty exists simply because poverty exists. Why poverty exists is a complicated issue. Environmental, societal and personal factors all influence a person's future and current needs. Some factors, like the fact that Reims gets below freezing during the winter, create a bigger need for those who are incapable of affording shelter to keep warm.
