Listen to the Cry of the Earth
and the Cry of the Poor
Most churches have parishioners who struggle with food insecurity and rely on food banks. Typically food banks offer canned goods, which can be high in sodium and sugar and lacking in some important vitamins. A community garden can supplement canned food. Ask parishioners with home gardens to bring in their excess produce to a local food bank. More information about food banks can be found in the Buying and Sharing Food theme.
