Alliance for Dignified Food Support: Collective Action Workshop

These sessions are open to anyone who works or volunteers in community food support, whether you’re part of a food bank, pantry, meal project, surplus food distributor or another form of charitable food aid.

We’ll be exploring the challenges faced by people delivering food support, including burnout, emotional strain, moral injury, and the lack of systemic support. Together, we’ll generate ideas for collective action, including policy asks, campaign plans, and a potential Charter of Volunteer Rights.

Each session will be hosted by two members of the Alliance for Dignified Food Support. This includes Carl Walker, whose research into Managing Hunger Trauma and Moral Injury helped launch this national movement. Other participants will be sector peers with an understanding of the issues.

All workshops are online and completely free to attend. You’ll receive a Zoom link after signing up.

Absolutely! We’ll be sharing other ways to contribute to this work, including online surveys, written reflections, and future events. Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on LinkedIn to stay in the loop.
