Warren & Terry

10/20/2014

 
"We're located here in the Edge area: at the edge of Downtown, the edge of the medical district, the edge of daily decision-making, and at the edge of eternity. One of the things we do here, besides Sunday and Wednesday night worship, is to run a clothes closet. Each item goes for 25 cents. If a person doesn't have the money, we hand them a garbage bag and ask them to pick up trash. Once they bring in a full bag, they can trade it for 7 items in the clothes closet. When I can say to someone, 'Thanks for helping out in the neighborhood', it restores their dignity. They're doing their part to keep the area clean and free of litter, and it benefits everybody. One-way giving all the time is belittling to people and creates dependency. It's the same as saying, 'You're not capable.'"
