Coming in October!!

Faith Leaders for Environmental Justice invites you to Food, Faith, and Health Disparities Summit October 2010 Exact Date and Location TBA What is it like to live in a "food desert"? What is the link between poverty, obesity and diabetes? Do things just have to be this way? Is it a lost cause or can we do something about it? Mark your calendars now and join faith and community leaders, health and environmental advocates, and government representatives from the Boroughs of the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn in October for the Food, Faith, and Health Disparities Summit. Join hundreds of New Yorkers who live in New York City's food deserts and those who don't. Listen and share your stories of food, faith and health. Work with a small group representing a diverse cross-section of New Yorkers to discern the spiritual, social and structural causes for our city's health disparities. Then work together to set action priorities for the next year. Be a part of the solution! Follow , , or the blog for updates! This summit is made possible through the generous partnership of the Bronx Health REACH Legacy Grant.
