In One Community, Faith-based Services Fill the Gaps When Government Can't – or Won't


The Bream Memorial Presbyterian Church works with other area organizations to help locals facing a range of challenges, from food insecurity to addiction. The efforts particularly focus on Black residents to fill the void left by local, state and federal government agencies. The church provides support and necessary supplies through its Showers, Health Care and Outreach Program (SHOP), as well as domestic violence counseling, housing assistance and addiction treatment.
