We are in this together!
Some of us want the latest accurate information. Some of us need help. Others want to know how to help. We all want to keep being the church. Here's an overview of resources as we navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic. Bookmark this page and check in regularly as we continually update it.

Embracing Virtual Church

Community Resources
Community Spreadsheet
Some locals who love our city have put together a master list of resources. Check it out here.
There are a variety of resources available at the LA Dream Center in Echo Park: https://www.dreamcenter.org/relief/
Food and Water
There are a total of 60 "Grab and Go" Food Centers in our community. The centers will be open weekdays from 7 am to 10 am, and each child can take home two nutritious meals. Locations of the centers can be found at https://achieve.lausd.net/resources
Thrive also has a grocery ministry to support families in financial need. Contact [email protected] to receive food or help out.
There is no shortage of food in Los Angeles and grocery stores will continue to be stocked, as normal. In addition, LADWP tap water is 100-percent safe to drink. There is no threat to our public drinking water supply and no need for bottled water.
There is no need to “panic buy” and put unnecessary pressure on supermarkets. Our neighbors also have essential needs, and a rush in demand can cause unanticipated buying frenzies and unnecessary anxiety.
Employment
If you are out of work or unsafe at work, check the EDD website to get general guidance as to what programs are available and what rights might be applicable.
