Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen remains committed to contributing to the important and long-overdue dialogue on #systemicracism in our communities. Over the next few weeks we’ll be highlighting the racial disparities we see on the front lines. #SoupAndSoul #BlackLivesMatter
According to the USDA, 22.5% of African American households and 18.5% of Hispanic households face #foodinsecurity. Grocery stores in communities of color are often further away and have fewer healthy, high quality options. #SoupAndSoul #SystemicRacism #FoodDesert
As we continue to highlight #systemicracism and instances of racial disparities, we encourage you to:
EDUCATE yourself
LISTEN to others’ experiences
SHARE resources with others
ACT/DONATE (in whatever way you are able to!)
