Greater Morning Star of Florence

The community around Greater Morning Star of Florence

Within about a mile of this church, more than 7 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 two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
