Who We Help
In 2006, Christian County's population of people living below the poverty line was 7,971… a 64% increase since 2000, and double the rate of population growth.
- Families and seniors living in poverty
- Families whose children qualify for free or reduced priced school breakfast and lunch Between 30% and 50% of children qualify depending on the school district in Christian County
- People with emergency needs caused by natural disasters, fires, marital crises, etc.
- Families or seniors with extraordinary medical expenses or needs.
- Families and seniors, single moms, even single dads, needing a helping hand through difficult financial times.
Consider this…If a family of 4 earns $1700 a month they do not qualify for any kind of assistance, including food stamps. After rent or a mortgage payment, utilities, healthcare, auto expenses and daycare, there's not much left for food or clothing.
With the cost of living increases, and the increase in the number of people at or below the poverty level in Christian County, Least Of These is more and more of a critically needed resource.
