Fort Worth Hunger Relief

About the Week

In Fort Worth, Texas, your group will have the opportunity to learn how a local church partners with neighbors experiencing hunger. Groups learn a variety of ways to participate in hunger relief, from serving in community gardens, food pantries, cooking programs, and meal service, to advocating for fair food policies and the end of food deserts. Groups participating in Fort Worth: Hunger Relief learn to put faith into action through service and justice in ways that are relational, sustainable and dignity-affirming. Groups work with and learn from a variety of organizations and people with whom we partner year round. Each day includes a morning gathering with a biblical reflection and videos to learn more about hunger relief and the partner organizations for the day, hands-on activities with non-profits, connect time and free time. Connect time is our justice based curriculum that will help your group connect what you are doing on your trip with how your will put your faith into action in new ways when you return home.
