Palmetto Avenue Church of God

The community around Palmetto Avenue Church of God

Within about a mile of this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the people here live without health insurance, and about a third of working-age adults live without health insurance. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
