What is a "Right to Food Center"?
/noun/
A term coined to replace conventional designations such as food shelf, food pantry, food cupboard, or food bank, with the aim of fostering a more respectful and all-encompassing culture. It explicitly asserts the universal entitlement of all individuals to access food.
A physical location or establishment that embodies the principles of dignity, non-bias, and inclusivity in providing food assistance and support to those in need, in alignment with the belief that every human has the inherent right to access nourishment.
