The community around First Southern Baptist Church
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
