St Francis Soup Kitchen

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 7 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than half of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
