Come to the Table NC is a project of the North Carolina Council of Churches coordinated by RAFI-USA with funding from the Duke Endowment. They offer a wide variety of resources to churches and faith-based groups interested in supporting local farmers and addressing local hunger. They have three regional conferences in NC coming up over the next few weeks.
Their in-depth guide to supporting local foods is an excellent primer for any group, faith-based or otherwise, interested in jump-starting a local food program. I think this is an outstanding example of how local food programs and concepts can be quickly adopted and mainstreamed by local organizations.
Great work!
