A new community within LeaderSHIFT's Church Planting network, Feast & Fallow Cafe is a social enterprise that's connecting people to their food and to each other. Co-located with Oakridge United Church, Feast & Fallow Cafe bakes bread, serves coffee, educates, and honours food security as a Christian value - and they want us all to come celebrate with their opening!

"Feast and Fallow is a Christian social enterprise. At the core of the historical Christian witness, is the celebration of the earth, human connection and community, and the sharing of food (communion is one such example). In recognition of this core Christian value and practice, some congregations are now choosing to focus on the role that food plays as both a humanizing and isolation reducing mechanism in our society. However, the issues around food are larger and transcend the social sphere. Take for instance how our food systems are exploited and extended in unsustainable ways. Many Christians, therefore, also share in the conviction that the Christian Church should raise its voice in advocacy for regenerative, sustainable, organic, holistic, and just food systems." - FeastAndFallow.ca/our-vision
