Adult programming: Living Poor in Wayne County
February 29 – Outreach Commission is doing a fundraiser meal for our upcoming Habitat project.
Mark these dates on your calendar and plan to participate! Thanks to everyone who is volunteering to make these Wednesday evenings possible.
Living Poor in Wayne County
Purpose: As Oak Grove prepares to build a Habitat House (in our church parking lot!) this summer, we want to prepare ourselves to form appropriate relationships with our Habitat family as well as learn to know our community better. We believe we need to know about the challenges of being poor, especially working poor, in Wayne county and the resources available—and not available—to people less fortunate than we are.
Topics:
- what the organization does,
- the clients served,
- how our community has changed during the recession,
- what we should know as we build a Habitat House,
- misconceptions about poverty, its causes and the people who live in it.
Websites are provided in case you’d like to learn more about the organization before the meeting.
