In a ‘typical’ year, food insecurity — which is a disruption in regular eating because of limited money or other resources — affects 1 in 10 households in the U.S. (Economic Research Service, 2019).
34% of all LA County households (approximately 1.2 million households) experienced food insecurity between April and December of 2020.
On Saturday, October 2, 2021, the small church plant led by Howard and Sorayda O’Dell – House of Redemption – held a food distribution event in partnership with A World With Compassion, a local food distribution non-profit. In just a few hours their small group (less than 20 volunteers!) provided food, prayer, and encouragement for 153 families – approximately 500-600 people.
Since House of Redemption first connected with A World With Compassion, two more local Free Methodist churches have joined up to help with food distribution events.
