Growing Food Justice Across Washington
January 22, 2020
The Meaning of Food
Around dinner tables and in community gatherings, food connects us to our culture, our memories, our sense of identity. These stories shape who we are—and they can shape our understanding of hunger and food justice.
Through the Meaning of Food, we invite Washingtonians to explore twelve monthly themes, from ‘Food Is Justice’ to ‘Food Is Joy.’ Each month brings new stories to share, new perspectives to consider, and new ways to connect.
Join the conversation by responding to our monthly video prompts below, or click here to discover more ways to add your voice. Together, we’re weaving a deeper understanding of food’s role in creating a more equitable future.
