The Need Is Always There 2/10/2016 10:48:22 AM
Matthew 25: 35 says, "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." When I lived in Wichita, Kansas, I served a few years at a food kitchen, and I saw first-hand those who were hurting. They were not looking for a hand-out, but only a hand-up.
Here are a few statistics about poverty in the State of Kansas:
The counties of Pittsburg and Crawford, Kansas, have the highest poverty rate in the state.
The food insecurity rate is 17.1 %, surpassing the state average of 14.5 %. This area of southeast Kansas "is the poorest and least healthy region of the state with almost 50% of the population living at 200% of the federal poverty level or below." -- Krista Postai, President & Chief Executive Officer, Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas. Additionally, 64% of the students in the Pittsburg school district qualify for free and reduced lunches.
It boggles the mind to see these kinds of statistics. This ought not to be in such a wealthy country as the United states.
