Community kitchen closes, but free meals continue After the Beacon Community Kitchen closed last month, volunteers launched two free meal programs to feed residents who might go without. A week ago, on Jan. 31, more than 100 people were fed at the inaugural weekly dinner at the First Presbyterian Church provided by volunteers from Fareground, an anti-hunger nonprofit founded in 2012. Two weeks ago, a newly created nonprofit, Beacon's Backyard, began serving breakfasts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at The Yard. Both projects were in the early planning stages before the closing of the Beacon Community Kitchen, which had been serving weekday lunches at Tabernacle of Christ Church since 2015 under the direction of Candi Rivera and other volunteers. About the same time Beacon Community Kitchen closed, a meal program at First Presbyterian Church also stopped. In both cases, longtime coordinators retired or relocated. "This wasn't the original plan," said Justice McCray, a former Beacon City Council member who helped organize Beacon's Backyard in December with plans for spring programming. "We pivoted." Jamie Levato, the executive director at Fareground, said the sudden change feels like "a generational shift." Fareground's Welcome Table and Beacon's Backyard Kitchen are carrying on a local tradition of feeding the hungry at a moment's notice. It took Beacon Community Kitchen less than a week to go from conception to opening in 2015 when the Salvation Army's kitchen closed unexpectedly. In March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, Beacon Mutual Aid was operating within 24 hours. Volunteers were never in short supply. "We have a lot of people who are ready and willing to step up," said McCray. "They're just waiting for the Bat-Signal." Special Reports Hunger in the Highlands (2021) Hunger in the Highlands Update (2024) The Fareground dinner began after a volunteer who also helped at First Presbyterian noted the church has a commercial kitchen. "It was perfect timing because that's what we needed to make it happen," said Levato. (Fareground moved into a space just outside Beacon last year that has a commercial kitchen, but it needs major upgrades.) The First Presbyterian kitchen needed a few minor fixes to pass inspection by the county health department, so Meyer's Olde Dutch Beacon donated pasta, meatballs, salad and bread for the Jan. 31 meal. Diners lingered and caught up with friends while music played and children colored. The welcoming atmosphere is as integral to the program as the food, Levato said. "We want people to have access to fresh, healthy food because food is a human right," she said. "We also want people to engage with each other. There's a lot of issues that arise from people feeling lonely and a lack of connection. "If you see somebody once a week, you can notice that something might be wrong. Maybe they need a ride to the doctor, or maybe they have some amazing news that they want to share with someone. If you can have those connections, you can build a network of support and community care." "It's mutual aid," said Jason Hughes, a volunteer with Beacon's Backyard Kitchen, on Tuesday (Feb. 4) before breakfast was served at The Yard. "We're not feeding them - we're feeding us." Altrude Lewis Thorpe Beatrice Clay Brian Arnoff Chef Zeke Jeff Silverstein Rhys Bethke The Yard has a commercial kitchen inside a trailer. Professional chefs and enthusiastic amateurs spent the early morning preparing shakshuka, potato hash, bacon, toast and fruit salad, while volunteers laid out muffins and cereal. As the dining room filled, the kitchen staff made and packaged a dozen sandwiches to hand out for lunch. McCray said Beacon's Backyard Kitchen decided to serve breakfast because many working people couldn't attend the Beacon Community Kitchen lunches. "With a dine-in and takeout option, people don't have to go to work hungry," McCray said. "We know there's been a lot of success with the Beacon schools' ...

Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America, into a 4 part docuseries. And I'm very proud to say that she's a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother's signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she'd be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

The last sixteen years of James Baldwin's life (1971–87) unfolded in a village in the South of France, in a sprawling house nicknamed “Chez Baldwin.” In Me and My House: James Baldwin's Last Decade in France (Duke UP, 2018), Magdalena J. Zaborowska employs Baldwin's home space as a lens through which to expand his biography and explore the politics and poetics of blackness, queerness, and domesticity in his complex and underappreciated later works. Zaborowska shows how the themes of dwelling and black queer male sexuality in The Welcome Table, Just above My Head, and If Beale Street Could Talk directly stem from Chez Baldwin's influence on the writer. The house was partially torn down in 2014. Accessible, heavily illustrated, and drawing on interviews with Baldwin's friends and lovers, unpublished letters, and manuscripts, Me and My House offers new insights into Baldwin's life, writing, and relationships, making it essential reading for all students, scholars, and fans of Baldwin. Magdalena J. Zaborowska is Professor of Afroamerican and American Studies and the John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

My community has been imperative.” - June Dare   “I'm on the right path in the sense that I am determined to not leave this until I know for sure. And if that means that I have to jump completely in and like put myself completely in it so that I cannot turn around one day and be like, “Oh God, I wish I would have and then come to the conclusion that it's not right for me, then it is what it is.” But I don't want to stop until I can, with certainty or with not contentment, feel okay about saying, “This isn't it for me, I gave it my absolute best shot and it's just not what I feel led to do anymore.”” - June Dare -----------------------------------------------------------------------------  Connect with June Dare: LinkedIn: June Dare Bunce Instagram: @ActorJuneDare Facebook: Actor June Dare IMDb: June Dare -----------------------------------------------------------------------------  Thank you for listening, please like and share this episode with a friend!   If you would like to stay connected and get your questions answered by Dr. V, feel free to reach out!   Facebook: Office Visits with Dr. V Instagram: Office Visits with Dr. V.

 Jen Hatmaker grew up with a father who was a pastor in the Baptist church, moving the family from Kansas to a series of small Southern towns. For a long time, though, she's been a diehard Texan, which is very evident not only in the food she loves but also in her fierce independent streak. Her new cookbook, Feed These People, breaks just about every rule and tradition you've ever seen in a cookbook - from the ingredients to the directions to the occasional curse word - but that's what makes it fun.

Speaker & Worship Leader:- Rachel Mackintosh. Recorded 6th August 2023 at Auckland Unitarian Church. I met Clay 10 years ago at a residential training for community organising. The basis of the training was storytelling. At the opening of the training, all participants were asked to tell stories about a time we had spoken truth to power. Clay's story was about taking the Anglican Bishop of Auckland to the Human Rights Commission for violation of the Human Rights Act because he refused to ordain a gay priest. My story was about standing up to a union leader who, to a largely but not totally white male audience, had used the phrase “dirty girls of the Philippines” to refer to migrant sex workers. I confronted him privately and told him I had been offended at his use of language that was imperialist, misogynist and anti-worker. He went back to that audience and apologised, even though many of them had found his language perfectly acceptable. As all the people in the room told their stories, we began to see that all of us had not only identified injustices but had also had moments of courage where we had spoken up. Some of our stories had had successful outcomes, but many had not. Many of us had acted alone. All of our stories had promise. When one person shows courage in the face of injustice, that act holds the kernel of transformational change.

Dr. Jessica B. Harris is renowned as the grande dame of African American cookbooks. One of the world's foremost historians, scholars, writers, and thinkers when it comes to food—and African American cooking in particular—she has, over the past 40 years, published 12 books documenting the foods and foodways of the African diaspora, including Hot Stuff (1985), Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons (1989), Sky Juice and Flying Fish (1991), The Welcome Table (1995), The Africa Cookbook (1998), and High on the Hog (2011)—the latter of which became a Netflix docuseries and, in turn, a New York Times bestseller. Through her cookbooks, her work, and her very being, Harris is a living testament to the polyvocal, far-reaching traditions and histories of African American food and culture.On the episode, Harris talks about her love of West African markets, her disregard for recipes despite being the author of numerous cookbooks, and the widely unrecognized yet critical differences between yams and sweet potatoes.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:49] Dr. Jessica B.

"Lent is a season for deepened reflection on the meaning of Jesus' life and ministry, death and resurrection. It is also a Tim for us to reflect on what it means to be called to follow Jesus in our own lives individually and as communities of faith. We hope that these table stories draw you closer to Christ and to one another as the body of Christ and that you will always be able to recognize him in the breaking and sharing of bread."-"Meeting Jesus at the Table," IntroductionJoin us each week as we discuss the table stories found in the Gospels and how they connect us back to the season of Lent and the grace of God offered at the table.

Scripture: Matthew 9:9-13 Series: Meeting Jesus at the Table Of all the things Jesus did to annoy and offend the Pharisees, one of their most frequent complaints is who Jesus ate with. At a party where Jesus could have eaten with anyone, Jesus chose to eat with tax collectors and outcasts. That's good news for us because Jesus would choose to eat with us, too.

June 5, 2022: "Welcome Table" by Mark Hayes

Remembering the lunch counter sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Kim Harris preaches for Holy Thursday, offering a reflection on creating a welcome table: "Are we looking and bending down, to wash the feet of a neighbor? Or even allowing our own feet to be washed in the ritual…? While feeling other than, feeling above or even feeling disdain for those who are in deep need. Unhoused, underfed, unremembered? Do we see, as we look at our table not only who is there, but who is not there? Who is not invited? Who is invited but cannot gain access?" Kim R. Harris is Assistant Professor of African American Thought and Practice in the Department of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. She holds a Ph.D. in Worship and the Arts from Union Theological Seminary, New York City. Dr. Harris is a member of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium and the North American Academy of Liturgy. While pursuing her Ph.D., she composed Welcome Table: A Mass of Spirituals. Welcome Table is a featured complete Mass setting in the second edition of the Black Catholic hymnal, Lead Me Guide Me and the Gather Hymnal 4th Edition (GIA Publications Inc.). Her current research concerns Black Catholic liturgy in a time of changing parish demographics and consolidations, as well as the need to diversify available liturgical resources for worship.

In this episode of the Farm Walks Podcast, we catch up with Emily Asmus of Welcome Table Farm in Walla Walla, WA to talk about their direct-to-consumer marketing channels including their customizable CSA, farm stand, and online shop. Emily also addresses farming over 40 and her lessons learned for managing body care, mechanization, hiring, vacation, and working with a spouse after two decades of labor. Later in the episode, we have a chance to chat with Simon Huntley, CEO and founder of the online sales and distribution platform Harvie about the ins and outs of the e-commerce website. Emily Asmus started Welcome Table Farm in 2007 in her hometown, Walla Walla, WA. Over the last 14 growing seasons, Emily, husband Andy, and a dedicated farm team, have developed stable direct-marketed sales channels for Welcome Table Farm's organically grown vegetables, herbs, berries, tree fruit, and cut flowers. With about 6 acres in annual production and 3 acres in perennial plantings, diversified crop selection brings customers to their on-site, self-serve farm stand, downtown farmer's market, and customizable CSA subscription program. Emily also designs cut flowers as a farmer-florist for wedding events. Committed to community education, the farm hosts summer day camps for elementary children, trains interns from Whitman College, partners with the local farm-to-school nonprofit for field trips, grows food for the foodbank, and creates a positive workplace culture that promotes employee learning and growth. Andy and Emily also are raising 3 capable kids (ages 12, 9, 5) in this dynamic farm environment.  This episode was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service's Farmers Market Promotion Program.
