Feeding Our Neighbors: A Panel of Faith-driven Organizations Fighting Food Insecurity in Our Community

Join the Center for Civic Education & Justice and the University YMCA for Friday Forum + Conversation Café!

This lunchtime series creates space to learn from diverse perspectives, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and connect with others across differences. Each program features speakers, panels, or interactive conversations designed to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and action. 

Lunch is provided from the Y Thai Eatery at no cost, so come ready to eat, listen, learn, and join the conversation!

This week's conversation will be hosted by Isaac Ackerman, University Place Christian Church. The discussion will be on the topic of "Feeding our Neighbors: A Panel of Faith-Driven Organizations Fighting Food Insecurity in our Community".

Join us for a panel conversation with local leaders and community members working to address food insecurity and increase access to nourishing food across the University of Illinois and greater Champaign-Urbana community. Grounded in faith, service, and a commitment to caring for their neighbors, panelists will share how their values shape their work and explore the role of community, collaboration, and collective responsibility in building a more food-secure community.
