DEEP ROOTS
More than half a century ago, some very special and courageous people planted seeds of harmony and unity by befriending and meeting the needs of Wayne County’s migrant farm workers. Although their cause was not a popular one, they persisted and grew, championing society’s downtrodden and steadfastly refusing government assistance in order to maintain their own independence. Along the way, they began to serve all people in need in Wayne County and learned that there is more sameness than differences in diverse peoples. Soon, they saw the wisdom in seeking good people of all races, religions, classes and ages to assist them in their cause of working toward the common good. Thus the Wayne County Rural Ministry /Come-Unity Center, Inc., was born and good people like you have been befriending and helping the rural poor of Wayne County ever since.
