Food for Faith

Loving your neighbors through food

Welcome to Food for Faith! Every day we have the opportunity to love through food. No matter how busy we get, eating is something we all have to do each day. And when we share food with our neighbors, the impact can be powerful. This blog is dedicated to sharing stories, resources, and recipes to help you love your neighbor through food.
