Bennetts Fork Church

The community around Bennetts Fork Church

In the few miles around this church, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 10 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
