"5000 of our children in the city of Wilmington live in poverty" Lets do the math...at 3 children per family this comes to over 1600 families living below poverty.
Terry Schooley, Project Director for KIDS COUNT Delaware, and member of the State House of Representatives, released the 5th Edition of the Wilmington KIDS COUNT Fact Book.
Schooley says the numbers show there's still a way to go to give the city's kids what they need, but a lot has been accomplished.
Schooley says while infant mortality stabilizes, the percentage of low birth weight babies remains on the rise, and 34% of the city's 20,000 children live in poverty...Something that just starts the ball rolling
