Southwood Church

The community around Southwood Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
