What are the challenges that individuals you met today
face? There are many challenges that individuals face from this community. I
believe the biggest challenges faced in this community is mental health and low
income/poverty. How does The Open-Door help with some of the needs of the
community? The open-door soup kitchen helps the community by feeding them hot
meals every day, allowing individuals to shower, wash their clothes, and receive
nonperishable foods to take home with them. This resource helps the low-income
individuals and the homeless population. Are there other connections in the
community to help improve health for those facing health disparities? In
Waynesville North Carolina they have many assistance resources, they are all
listed here https://www.ncworks.gov/admin/gsipub/htmlarea/uploads/CRAG/Haywood_County.pdf
What were some of the resources mentioned by the Open Door staff that they utilize for people that come to the soup kitchen? Do they offer resources for seeking health care or purchasing medications?
