Christian Assembly Church is working with a debt-forgiveness nonprofit to help erase bills for 5,555 low-income households in 28 L.A. County neighborhoods
In an astounding Christmas gift, an Eagle Rock church is wiping out $5.3 million in medical debt for thousands of low-income Los Angeles area residents.
Church member Jean Kellett of Sherman Oaks said when she learned of the debt-relief plans during Sunday’s service, she wept. While the gift will have an expanded impact, it’s not the largest donation Christian Assembly Church has made. In February, the church — which was founded in 1907 and has been at the Eagle Rock address since the 1970s — delivered $1.2 million in cash to open a hospice center in Kenya.
“I love that our church is doing this. I’m especially excited for all those who will receive letters,” she said. “I can’t imagine what it will be like to get that news in the mail.” “This is what a church’s money is for — not buildings and sound systems, but actually directly helping people in need,” one person wrote on Facebook.
