Take a look at this clip featuring PHP’s Food Justice Fellow, Nathan Ballentine (aka Man in Overalls), and his efforts to help folks grow food throughout Tallahassee.
A Peace of Bread: Faith, Food, and the Future is a new interfaith documentary that explores hunger issues in a new way. The film looks at how young, and not so young, faith leaders are trying to finally make a dent in this country’s 49 million people (17 million of which are children) that are experiencing hunger. A Peace of Bread explores the work of caregivers in soup kitchens as well as a new generation of anti-hunger activists.
Agricultural sustainability, social network community building, and advocacy to reshape food policy – these are some of the ways faith-based groups are bringing a new perspective to an old problem. A Peace of Bread: Faith, Food, and the Future reminds us that we are “not obligated to finish the work (of perfecting the world), but neither are you allowed to desist from it.” (Pirket Avot 2:16) With one in five people unable to afford enough food in our nation, the issue requires the combined effort of us all.
