300 Attend Rally With Bishop Wolfe in Wichita to Save ESS
300 attend rally for Episcopal Social Services
About 300 people who rallied today outside the Episcopal Social Services building were urged by the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas to continue expressing support for the imperiled charity.
Bishop Dean E. Wolfe asked those in attendance to voice their support to Sedgwick County officials who have moved to condemn building at 233 S. St. Francis to make way for a new downtown arena.
Agency officials said the $500,000 the county has offered for the building is well short of the what would be needed to buy comparable space downtown to continue their work helping the poor and the disabled.
"It is wrong; it is just plain wrong not to care for people who are important to us," Wolfe told the group.
