Join TFH Appalachia coalition members, partners, and friends at First Baptist Church on February 4th as we dig deep into economic inequality in Appalachia. Together, we can learn from each other about poverty alleviation and find new collaboration pathways.

Hear from Food Pantry leaders-- what’s working, challenging, and inspiring them. Tour the FBC Corbin Food Pantry and Mustard Seed Community Garden. Share in the wisdom and experience of TFH Appalachian Coalition members who are hard at work in Appalachian communities. Join Dr. Kathryn Engle, Director of the University of Kentucky Appalachian Center, for a presentation and dialogue around intersectionality and the challenges to overcoming economic insecurity. Learn from Mountain Assocation's Peter Hille about how small businesses and social enterprises are leading economic revival in the session “Beyond Poverty: East Kentucky’s Economic Future.” Sit in the beautiful FBC Corbin Sanctuary for some closing reflections and a benediction led by pastor Alex Lockridge. View the award-winning documentary Rising Hope, featuring TFH president Jason Coker and some TFH partners and friends. All people, organizations, churches, and faith-based groups interested in alleviating poverty in rural counties of persistent poverty in Appalachia are invited to attend.
