President and CEO George Jones of Bread For The City shared the connection between racism and poverty and they work to uproot, or undo racism. Bread for the City works with the most vulnerable residents, including senior citizens, to provide food, clothing, legal services, medical care, and social services representation. CODVID-19 has required a new way to deliver many of the services, i.e. actually delivering food to the homes, telemedicine, etc. This has actually been a positive change for people who have transportation challenges. Bread for the City has incredible support from the community, but anticipate some challenges because normal fundraising events are canceled for the year.
