Mary F Butler Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church

The community around Mary F Butler Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church

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. About a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly a quarter of adults are worried about keeping the housing they have. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
