FEEST is the Food Education Empowerment and Sustainability Team. We are a youth-run program out of Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, and we gather every Wednesday at 4 PM to kick it in the kitchen, prepare a delicious and healthy meal, and then eat all together family-style while learning more about food in our communities. At the end of every month, we throw Community Potlucks where people of all ages are invited to share and dialogue with us. Our blog entries are written by FEEST leaders and feature photography by the wonderful Alex. For more information about FEEST contact Cristina Orbe at cristinao@dnda.org
