Charitable Foods

1 credits · Divinity School

Churches have been the center of U.S. emergency food assistance since its creation. Fundamentally, nutrition support has roots in biblical mandates. This course will explore how people of faith provide support to individuals in need. This course will draw upon field experiences with local food assistance programs and international non-profits. Learners will also engage individuals who benefit from these programs. We will assess the challenges of these efforts and develop constructive, alternative approaches to providing food for people in need
