“Life is so much harder now for so many people than it was four years ago,” says Adams, a Methodist campus minister at Youngstown State University in Ohio, describing the struggling families she has served in soup kitchens and the declining collections at the local churches that support her work.

Boarded-up homes and empty storefronts are common, and many families are stretching shrinking paychecks.
