By providing these resources\, faith communities are responding to the environmental and climate needs of communities\, often without defining the work in an environmental or climate justice framework. Faith communities provide blankets when it’s cold\, cooling when it’s hot\, access to food pantries and other critical resources communities need as extreme weather events increase and worsen. \nClimate change and adverse health outcomes are significant and growing challenges\, particularly for low-income communities of color\, the elderly\, children\, and pregnant people in the Philadelphia region. Climate-related health issues contribute to a widening healthcare gap\, which is acute for many neighborhoods and residents that faith communities serve. \nJoin us for a community meal and roundtable to unpack how climate change is impacting the health and wellness of people the faith community serves and the role the faith community plays in climate resilience and justice. The knowledge roundtable participants’ share will anonymously inform a climate and health feasibility project\, which is the first step in the potential development of a climate and health fund by Bread & Roses Community Fund. Attendance is capped to 30 participants so register today! \nRoundtable participants will receive a $50 gift certificate and a meal for sharing their wisdom and expertise. This convening is limited to folks in the following six counties: Philadelphia\, Bucks\, Delaware\, Chester\, Montgomery\, and Camden (NJ). \nLocation: Germantown Unitarian Church6511 Lincoln Dr\, Philadelphia\, PA19119Date: Thursday\, May 29thTime: 6:00-6:30 pm Community Meal 6:30-8:30 Roundtable Discussion \n \nWho is this circle for?\n\nYou are a religious leader supporting your congregation in providing community services like a food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinics\nYou are a volunteer who supports your local congregation in providing community services like a food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinics\nYou are a person who accesses community services through a local congregation’s food pantry\, shelter\, or health clinic\nYou are a person of faith/conscience/values that supports community mutual aid efforts\nYou are a person who holds a unique perspective or experience or passion related to gaps in the region at the intersections of faith\, climate\, and health\n\n \nIf you are not sure if this circle is a good fit for you\, please reach out to Sparrow sparrow@paipl.org to learn more about this circle\, who it is designed for\, and what outcomes we hope to achieve. \n \nAccessibility:\nGetting There: \n\nBy public transportation: Accessible by Regional Rail Line (R8 – Chestnut Hill West – Upsal Train Station) just two blocks North of the Church.
