Geared toward faith leaders, this retreat aims to deepen our collective understanding of ways to address 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 effect 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 has 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.
