Advocacy
Keeping the issues of poverty and hunger
before the public
At Holy Apostles, we know that soup kitchens are not a long-term answer to the problem of hunger. Rather, we need public policies that make affordable housing, child care for working parents, universal health care, and living wage jobs for all who are able to work. In the meantime, we need adequate food and funding for emergency food programs and food stamp outreach to ensure that all who are eligible receive these important benefits.
In speaking with the media, elected officials, the church, and the wider community, we call on our government and all of us to act with justice and compassion toward our most vulnerable neighbors. At the same time, we seek to empower our guests to advocate on their own behalf, through petition drives, educational efforts, voter registration, and collective action. We work in close partnership with many advocacy groups on the local, state, and national levels.
