The community around The Temple of Refuge

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. About 1 in 5 the people here live without health insurance, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
