Food Pantry
May brings the Presiding Bishop's Summit on Poverty in the United States. By all indications, the data says that poverty is at a higher rate now than it was when the War on Poverty was declared. We will see what the 40 + organizations at this summit have to say. We continue to be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, yet we cannot feed or provide health care for our own. Definitely, health care is at a greater level than it was some 40 years ago. The last two months, the Food Pantry has fed 70 families, or 121 adults and 59 children. This month the Food pantry is asking for Spaghetti Sauce.
