ELCA World Hunger is excited to announce the addition of a new staff member, Everdith Landrau. <\/em>Read more about her below!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi everyone, my name is Everdith Landrau, also known as Evie, and I am delighted to join the ELCA World Hunger as Director of Networking and Engagement.\u00a0\u00a0I am a native of San Juan, Puerto Rio by way of Manhattan (Spanish Harlem), New York.\u00a0\u00a0I am an ordained \"\"<\/a>Minister of Word and Sacrament with the Presbyterian Church, (USA).\u00a0\u00a0My grandmother fostered the love of service early on in my childhood.\u00a0\u00a0Growing up in an urban\u00a0setting both in Puerto\u00a0Rico and Spanish Harlem exposed me to the many struggles of\u00a0hunger, food insecurity and poverty in Black and Latinex communities.<\/p>\n

My service to the Church has taken different forms, including ecumenism, inter-faith relations, faith formation, youth and young adult ministry, art\/healing movement, and food justice and advocacy.\u00a0\u00a0As an ecumenical leader with my local congregation and the World Council of Churches, I collaborated in various justice service programmatic projects and critical theological reflection.\u00a0\u00a0My doctoral research was focused on the health disparities of African American women in Charlotte, NC.\u00a0\u00a0I researched the realities of how health disparities, hunger, food insecurity, and entrenched institutional racism prevents the flourishing of many Black and Brown communities in the South and the United States.<\/p>\n

Much of my passion for prophetic justice has been nurtured by mentors, my spiritual formation alongside Black and Brown siblings and immigrant communities.\u00a0\u00a0I have been honored to be a pastor in North Carolina while participating in community engagement and networking between diverse communities.\u00a0\u00a0In many of our churches, we addressed hunger through soup kitchens, food pantries and intentional advocacy projects with local officials and nonprofit organizations.\u00a0\u00a0I believe in the power of building resilient communities and creating brave spaces of dialogue, action and prayer.<\/p>\n

In my free time, I enjoy exercising, creating handmade jewelry, dancing, and playing with my three-year-old daughter, Aluna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
