Webinar: A Catholic approach to hunger, nutrition, and the Farm Bill "A Catholic approach to hunger, nutrition, and the Farm Bill" is a webinar hosted by the United States Senate, with participants from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA, and Catholic Relief Services. Congressional staff will attend in person. This event is open to watch online and will consider a number of issues, including: • What does Catholic teaching have to say about the responsibility of public authorities to provide for the common good?
• How does this responsibility relate to investments in nutrition and food security to feed the hungry in our nation and around the world, such as those authorized by the Farm Bill?
• How are these investments responsibly used by faith-based organizations such as Catholic Charities or Catholic Relief Services to provide life-affirming food security and nutrition assistance to children, women, and men? Hear from a panel of experts from the USCCB, Catholic Charities West Virginia, and Catholic Relief Services who will share how their organizations are using federal funding to respond to needs at home and around the world. Date: Sept. 21, 2022. Time: 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time (US and Canada). Register HERE. |
