Pilot Club provided pizzas and dessert to members who participated in the Barton County Core Community program. Members meet on Thursdays to share a meal before the start of the program. Program director, Jamie Baldwin commented“poverty is the root cause of many of the participants’ struggles. Jamie stated the entire community, especially those who are experiencing poverty, are encouraged to become involved and to help solve this problem. “Our program is a great vehicle for healing lives.”

She also commented that “poverty overwhelms people and institutions.” “The experience of poverty is often painful with a sense of powerlessness and isolation.” Jamie stated they look forward to increased community support as they created a safe space for families to emerge from poverty and claim the lives they deserve.
