What does it take to fight food insecurity with both compassion and dignity?
For nearly nine decades, Edmundite Missions in Selma, Alabama has been answering that question with faith, food, and community.
In this episode, President & CEO Chad McEachern shares how the Missions serve over 360,000 meals each year while building deeper solutions to food insecurity in Alabama’s Black Belt.
We explore the heart of their work: the Bosco Nutrition Center, where neighbors are welcomed and nourished with meals, community and hope. Chad also dives into the Missions’ farming initiative, which empowers Black Belt farmers to reclaim land, triple their harvests, and create a sustainable local food economy.
Tune in and discover how faith, food, and resilience come together at Edmundite Missions to change lives—one meal, one farmer, one family at a time.
