Menu Matters series is co-sponsored by Outreach & Social Concerns and Congregational Life Commissions. Weekly topics will relate to the issue of food instability (government jargon for “hunger”). Please join us for a 20-minute presentation each week, which will include film clips, skits, games, handouts, try-this-at-home ideas and, of course, a meal!
