Because January is Poverty Awareness Month in the Catholic Church, we will be offering a DMARC Food Pantry Hunger Simulation for families to be able to experience what it is like to live with food insecurity. Our simulation will be led by Rev. Sarah Trone Garriott, Coordinator of Interfaith Engagement at DMARC. We will also be serving a simple meal using package ingredients from Meals from the Heartland. The schedule for the evening is:
