Refuge In the Park

The community around Refuge In the Park

Within about a mile of this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of adults live with obesity, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
