Food Security Discussion Series

Anglicans in Action, the Greater St. Catharines Social Justice Network, invite you to join in a Food Security discussion series on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:00pm, March 2 through to April 20, 2021 held through Zoom. This will be a thought-provoking, engaging series to help participants understand what Food Security is, how serious an issue it is in our communities, some contributing factors, and how people who care can make a difference.
