Rural Churches Reach Out to Feed the Hungry

Come-to-the-Table-March-2011-Spotlight
During Come to the Table forums, participants learn how to connect local food to people in need.
Limited financial resources, lack of transportation and other problems can pose challenges for residents in need of food. In rural areas of North Carolina, churches are reaching out to serve neighbors in their communities. To strengthen communities and United Methodist churches in rural North Carolina, The Duke Endowment supports congregational efforts to feed the hungry through food pantries, sustainable farming programs and other relief projects.
