Exploring Equitable Eating – How Corporate Interests Have Exploited Our Food and Farm Workers

Sunday, Apr 19, 2015, 2:00 pm

Many Christian communities are known for their potlucks. We just get food! But are we walking our talk of equity and justice when we purchase and consume that food? In a society where we can access any food at any time of the year, we must be mindful of the growers, harvesters, and transporters that make our delicious dinners possible. Farmworkers labor in often harsh and dangerous environments that have plenty of room for improvement. Corporate interests also treat the food we eat as merely profit and not as gifts from God. Join us for a workshop to learn about a movement toward more equitable food for all and how you and your congregation can get involved!
