CAPS meeting

Last week I attended a meeting of the Coalition Against Poverty in Suffolk (CAPS). CAPS is a partnership that was formed between area churches both to respond to immediate needs and to address the underlying causes of poverty in Suffolk. A coalition prevents too much duplication of resources as each partner church brings their particular strengths to the table and communicates with the others about those they serve and work with. So far, 22 Suffolk churches have joined the coalition. Here's a picture of everyone who was present at the meeting on Tuesday: I'm in the front with the black skirt, and my internship supervisor, Hayden, is to the left.

The Suffolk News-Herald recently published an article about CAPS which you can read here if you'd like to find out more about the coalition. You can also check out the CAPS Facebook page at facebook.com/CAPSuffolk.
