14 - Why won't you be my neighbor?

In this episode of What is Good, our Director of Hunger & Care, Irene Gallegos, shares with us her passion for public health. She guides us in a discussion of the factors of health and how more impoverished communities will have greater difficulty accessing help in times of need. We discuss what community development ministries to these areas can look like and the various ways the CLC strives to advocate and be a part of the transforming of these communities.TIMESTAMPS:1:10 - What type of community did you grow up in?7:50 - What community factors were involved in your decision to live in the house you do now?18:05 - Some who serve in less fortunate communities choose to live in them and commit to a missional lifestyle among the people they serve.
