At the core of every program and opportunity provided by the Father McKenna Center is a simple promise - to humanize and accompany our neighbors in need as they search for the support and assistance they need to live full and healthy lives. Today, our ability to meet this promise is being threatened, as those in power move to criminalize our clients for their vulnerable circumstances. The unilateral labeling of the unhoused and food insecure as unwanted is disgraceful and further exacerbates the side effects of systemic poverty. Homelessness is not a choice, nor is it a crime. As Christians, it is our responsibility to love our brothers and sisters as ourselves. We are committed to ensuring that life-sustaining services remain accessible to those who need them most We condemn President Trump's comments regarding DC's unhoused and food insecure populations. We hope you will stand with us — in support, in solidarity, and in the shared belief that every person deserves to be seen, valued, and housed. -- The Father McKenna Center Staff
