Community FEaST

AppalFRESH, the Appalachian Food Research for Equity, Sustainability, and Health Collaborative, invites students, faculty, staff, and community members to gather around the table to enjoy free food, live music, and conversations about the importance of a resilient, equitable food system during the 2026 Community FEaST (Food Engagement and Story Telling). The event — centered on the theme of "Connection through Food" — is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on Sanford Mall. To minimize waste, attendees are asked to bring their own plates, utensils, and water bottles
