This toolkit aims to offer a springboard for connecting communities of faith as you create, host, partner, or rethink community meal programs in your own context. The desire of the authors is that those who read and use this guide know that they are not alone in this vital work.

It was developed collaboratively by Christ Church Anglican Cathedral, Planted Community Food Network and Union Gospel Mission on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

The co-authors and the organisations they represent share a commitment to modelling, teaching, and accompanying other organizations as they orient their food programs towards social inclusion and deeper justice. We invite feedback on the content, as we know it will need to deepen and expand as we learn together how justice translates into food and table fellowship.
