Feeding Our Community
Feeding Our Community
April 15 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Feeding Our Community is a campus and community-led effort to provide a warm meal and meaningful connection for members of the Carbondale community experiencing food insecurity and housing instability.
Hosted during Earth Month, this event is rooted in a simple idea: caring for our environment also means caring for each other.
On April 15, volunteers will help prepare, serve, and share a meal in a welcoming and respectful environment. This is not just about food—it’s about creating a space where everyone is treated with dignity.
Community members are welcome to stop by for a meal. No registration is required.
For Community Partners
If you work with individuals experiencing food insecurity or housing instability, we invite you to share this event with those you serve.
This is a free, low-barrier opportunity for a warm meal and connection.
Why It Matters
Food access is a real and present need in our community. Events like this are one small but meaningful way we can show up for one another.
We believe sustainability includes people—and that building a stronger community starts with care, respect, and shared responsibility.
Part of an Ongoing Effort
Feeding Our Community is part of a broader commitment through the Office of Sustainability and campus partners to address food access and community well-being. Similar efforts also take place throughout the year, including during National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
