Come to our second “The Revolution Starts at Home” event, Justice at the Table! We will explore together the intricate connections between our faith and the food we eat. We will challenge ourselves and each other to bring our eating and buying practices more in line with our beliefs and draft a “Justice at the Table Plan” to help us implement the changes we hope to make.

Registration is required. Register online.

The Food Crisis: How to Solve it :: Sara Miles’ Food Pantry Welcomes Strangers to the Table

This is a fantastic interview of my sister  Sara Miles done by the fine folks of Yes Magazine.

The Food Crisis: How to Solve it :: Sara Miles’ Food Pantry Welcomes Strangers to the Table
In this country, people think you have to eat the right thing with the right people. In most government-run programs, you have to prove you deserve food—fill out a 20-page application to get food stamps; show your rent receipts, your utility bills, and your social security number; be a legal immigrant, a good person, upright, and hardworking.

At St. Gregory’s, we don’t care about that. We say there is enough food for everybody, and everybody is welcome. It’s not our business to judge you or kick you out. We’ll feed anybody.
