Ebenezer Baptist Church East

The community around Ebenezer Baptist Church East

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 the people here live below the poverty line, and more than a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is 2,300 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
