Food Insecurity
Forty-two people participated in small group conversations at the Faith and Food Insecurity Summit hosted by Justice in Action on January 8, 2026. Each group was asked to provide a synthesis of common themes found in their conversation and to identify potential next steps. Across the summit conversations, several consistent themes emerged: faith communities are often a first point of contact for people experiencing food insecurity, demand for assistance is increasing or at least remaining persistently high, and most responses rely heavily on volunteer capacity, donated food, and partnerships with the Food Bank, FoodNet, and a patchwork of other agencies.
