SOCIAL SIN:POVERTY

WHAT IT IS

• Poverty is the state of lacking necessary materials or money
• Poverty is unfortunately common in the city of Wilmington
• In some parts of the city, almost 40% of residents live below the poverty line
• Many of these residents are African-American

WHAT IS BEING DONE

• The Ministry of Caring runs the Emmanuel Dining Hall, several housing units, a senior center, and several day cares, all at little to no cost
• Because of the Ministry of Caring's actions, many people receive food, housing, and child care at an affordable price
• The Emmanuel Dining Hall provides food for the hungry, and their housing units and senior center provide shelter for the working poor

HOW WE HAVE HELPED

• Saint Edmonds has already done two donations drives that have benefitted the Ministry of Caring
• We have collected both books and baby supplies, and will likely conduct another drive this year

HOW YOU CAN HELP

• You can donate to this year's donation drive or donate on your own
• You can also volunteer or donate money or items to the Ministry of Caring at https://www.ministryofcaring.org
