First Spiritualist Church of Totowa

The community around First Spiritualist Church of Totowa

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,300 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
