Mattock Memorial AME Zion Church

The community around Mattock Memorial AME Zion Church

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. Nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
