Faith communities are putting their beliefs about food and healthy eating into action. Some offer healthier food at church events. Others host a farmers market, connect with local sources of halal or kosher foods, or grow food at a church garden to contribute to a local food shelf.

Here, we present some examples of how faith organizations are building community—and healthier lives—through food. Please share your story!
