Hunger is at the heart of being human. People hunger for food, for love, for belonging and for Christ himself. Feeding the hunger of humanity is why the church exists. Presbyterian churches around the country are working to creatively nourish and sustain those who struggle with food insecurity, malnourishment and poverty.
For many food pantries in the United States, keeping quality sources of protein on the shelves is a problem. Smaller pantries often lack the refrigeration space and buying power to store and purchase large quantities of meat. Larger pantries are more likely to get large donations of protein, but those donations are often of lower quality, like breaded fish sticks.
