Decades ago, President Ronald Reagan engulfed American society into a hotly contested, public policy debate: should faith-based organizations receive taxpayer dollars to support their social service causes, such as day care, food banks, hospice care and homeless outreach?
I'm glad that you changed your position, Matt. Many faith-based organizations are providing vital services to those who are homeless and could use more federal money. Portland Rescue Mission is one of the best which my wife and I came to know from serving breakfast there after retirement. They have a comprehensive program to help in various areas, make great use of volunteers and are financially prudent - a wonderful organization with great staff.
