This column shares what individuals, congregations and other organizations are doing. Just as sharing food has an act of a miracle built into it, we believe the sharing of the stories, the work and the ideas of others will help feed the multitudes in other ways.

If you would like to see a particular work featured, we encourage you to send us your ideas. Please send to [email protected].
