Mapping the Pantry

Over the next couple of weeks, as part of our hunger:360 ministry project, Vine Street members and friends will be mapping the pantry.

We believe this will be eye-opening: get a pencil and a piece of paper, and go to your pantry and/or refrigerator, and write down where in the world your food is coming from.

You can do the same thing with just one meal: how far can you track the ingredients of your lunch?

We will have a couple of maps in the sanctuary, one of the U.S. and one of the world, to help us visualize our connection with people all over the globe through our food.

One question we will have to ask ourselves: What do we make of the fact that food follows demand rather than need?
