Inaccessible

The Sunday Friendship Breakfast and afflliated programs served at the Mathewson Street United Methodist Church share over 800 meals to needy folks each month. However, and it's a big however, it is difficult or near impossible for some people to access the good works done up those stairs. The church is circa turn of the century, and there are stairs up to the main floor where the food is served. Too bad if you are in a wheel chair, unless some kind soul brings our your meal for a picnic on Mathewson Street.  I've seen Pastor Jack and 3 other big strong men struggle someone up those stairs. Older folk and people with crutches find the stairs a challenge.
