Food & Retreat (Eastern NC)

March 12 - 13

Geared for faith leaders, this retreat aims to deepen our collective understanding of ways to make change at the root causes of food insecurity. This four-session retreat will explore…

  • The stories that are told about people who are hungry, and how those stories harm our ability to affect real change in our food system
  • The root causes of food insecurity and how they are deeply tied to systemic challenges like poverty, racism and classism. 
  • How the history of welfare and charitable services have created another element of the food system that was never built to solve hunger completely
  • How our understanding of hospitality and rights can impact how food insecurity is addressed in this country.
