Stand alone workshop or can be paired with Root Causes of Hunger

Session Description:

In this reflective session, we will travel back to the origin story of western food banking and notice how those beginnings shaped how we perceive food banking today. Along our journey, we will also revisit ways in which food sharing and harvest has been a cultural practice in many communities. Together, we will listen for patterns and look ahead towards future generations. 

Learning Experiences:

• Increase understanding of how the history of food banking influences solutions to hunger today

  • Increase understanding of the charity model

  • Develop a critical lens to the current food banking system
