Hal Colston's Message About Poverty

All the media is great lately but I hope that the buzz about Hal doesn't overshadow his message.

Neighborkeepers, Hal's other non-profit, is working at "breaking the bonds of poverty". Poverty is OUR problem not just the individuals and their family.

If you are interested in participating in Hal's effort, Neighborkeepers has community dinners each week. Two of the weekly dinners are on Thursdays and two are on Saturdays at the Baptist church in Burlington. Visit Neighborkeepers' website for more details or to make a financial donation to support Hal's work.
