Dear Editor:
We, who are privileged to live in Barron Park, must be ever mindful that we have amongst us elderly seniors who are dependent on the downtown Food Closet. The small subsidy they receive from Social Security does not cover them from one pay check to the next, and a few bags of food helps them have enough to eat.

Is there a concerted group way we could support the Urban Ministry?

Another issue hopefully we could address as a group, is the fact that our young children have to be bussed out of the area. Many grandparents and parents who have paid taxes conscientiously over the years, have to have their children and grandchildren put on a waiting list to attend our local schools.
