Columbia Daily Tribune -- Columbia’s War on Poverty: There is always a crisis
OK, so here’s the thing about poverty … there is always a crisis.
And guess what? When there is a crisis, it is almost impossible to focus on anything else (but you have to, because you have no choice, because you have kids or a job or any number of other things that you can’t just ignore).
For our neighbors facing poverty, there is always a crisis. For those of us trying to help them, we need to be ready to help with that crisis.
