Did you know that 13% of children in Washington Township live in poverty? In 2024, Second deepened our commitment to serving our neighbors by hiring full-time Social Worker Kate Booker. We are thrilled to welcome Kate as our featured guest for the next installment of the Second Act Speaker Series on Wednesday, April 22 (11:30 AM – 1PM). We’ll enjoy fellowship over a delicious meal and learn from Kate about the struggles and joys of our neighbors and how churches, including Second, are meeting immediate needs and working for lasting change.

Kate Booker serves our Washington Township neighbors through her work at Second Presbyterian Church by connecting people with helpful resources and assisting with basic needs. She also supports several of Second Presbyterian’s community partnerships, including working closely with Washington Township school social workers. Kate’s favorite part of her job? Building relationships with neighbors. She believes that when people are treated with dignity and respect, they feel empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
