WhyHunger

Closing the Hunger Gap is hosting our second event in our new yearlong series with a reflective discussion on the Theory of Change! Join us for generative dialogue with leadership team members in the BE group. Closing the Hunger Gap is a national network of food banks, pantries, and other anti-hunger organizations and advocates. We believe that for all communities to have access to the food they need and want, we need a liberated, joyful way of BEING in a beloved community in which all people are free from oppression, fully resourced, and able to truly thrive. ? Readings from The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World ? Exercises from Beyond Survival: Strategies and Stories from the Transformational Justice Movement ?? Thursday, March 20, 2025 | 10:00 AM-11:30 AM PT/ 1-2:30 PM EST ?? Virtual Event | Zoom #cthg #closingthehungergap #whyhunger
