Come to the Table: A Food + Faith Retreat

March 12 - March 13

Come to the Table is excited to announce the launch of our Food & Retreats for 2025, a two-day experience designed to deepen participants’ collective understanding of food insecurity and its root causes. Registration for our first retreat is now open! Join us at Camp Rockfish (Parkton, NC) on March 12- 13 to engage with pressing questions and explore solutions that go beyond the surface of hunger.

Who Should Attend?

This retreat is designed for clergy and laity who are engaged in food ministry work. We will tackle practical and theological topics as it pertains to food ministries, so we encourage you to share this opportunity with folks in your church who would be a fit for this important dialogue.

What to Expect:

Over the course of four sessions, you will:

  • Challenge harmful narratives: Understand how the stories we tell about hunger can hinder meaningful change.
  • Explore systemic causes: Dive deep into how food insecurity is tied to complex issues like poverty, racism, and classism.
  • Understand history: Examine the role of welfare and charitable systems in perpetuating food insecurity.
  • Reimagine hospitality: Reflect on how our views of rights and hospitality shape our responses to hunger.
