The rural service area of CFGD, nearly 8,000 children are currently living at or below poverty, 58 percent of children rely on free and reduced lunch programs which is the 4th highest in the state. The list doesn’t stop there; most small towns in the rural service area face serious, chronic challenges: empty buildings, declining school enrollment, too few housing options and recreational opportunities, and a deficiency of technical and professional entry-level jobs.
