A graduate of FEAST’s second group, Dorcia says, “Being part of [FEAST] gave me the courage to believe I could achieve my goals… [FEAST] has changed my life in so many ways. My food journey has gotten a lot easier with all the knowledge I gained while in the group. It also taught me to continue to expect food justice for myself and my family.“
