The community around New Salem Baptist Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, 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.
