Lack of access to education, transportation, fresh food, financial resources, a healthy environment, employment with a living wage, healthcare, benefits, citizenship, and affordable housing creates generational cycles of poverty and a racial wealth gap that are systemic in nature. Jesus Christ taught us to care for the vulnerable, to be a good neighbor, and to provide food to the hungry. Cary Presbyterian Church partners with local organizations to provide that care.
