Durham is a thriving city and yet it has ...
- the highest median income in North Carolina -- $48,900
- a 20% child poverty rate
- and a nearly 14% adult poverty rate.
This disparity is unacceptable, shameful, and contrary to the teachings of our faith.
We therefore seek to mobilize the faith community to remove the scourge of poverty from our city.
As a grassroots organization, we seek to support existing anti-poverty efforts and promote other initiatives that address the underlying causes of poverty.
