July, 2021: SEMI-ANNUAL UPDATE
DID YOU KNOW…
The City of Clarksville now ranks as the 5th largest city in Tennessee with over 161,000 residents, and counting? Encompassing nearly 96 square miles, it’s still a place with some “elbow room”, yet neighbors are never too far away. HOWEVER, the sad reality is that nearly 15% of our neighbors are living at or below the poverty line, with the recent impact of COVID-19 making a difficult situation even worse. Food insecurity is at an all-time high, an increasing number of families are stretched thin due to loss of income and changes in living situations, and an increase in domestic violence has proven to be a pandemic within the pandemic.
At Clarksville Area Urban Ministries, our missional charge is to provide support in ALL these areas to make a real difference in people’s lives! This is why now, more than ever, we are looking for support from our local community. There are many ways to help us keep these vital resources available…how will YOU partner with us to make a difference today?
