STARTING WITH THE SELF                REGISTER HERE

July 12, 2022 from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m.               

Session Description:

Often equity work is seen as something we do “out there” or “with community.” In this session, we ground our equity work in a shared vocabulary and our own stories and identities. We will learn terms and their meanings that are common in equity work. We will also practice vulnerability in our storytelling and how our stories may influence service delivery.

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.
