  • 26 FEBRUARY 2020 - FARMINGTON, MINNESOTA: GARY HOLSTAD eats dinner at the community dinner at Faith Church, a United Methodist Church in Farmington, MN, about 30 minutes south of the Twin Cities. The dinner is sponsored by Loaves & Fishes, a Christian organization that provides food for community dinners and foodbanks. Farmington, with a population of 21,000, is a farming community that has become a Twin Cities suburb. The city lost its only grocery store, a Family Fresh Market, in December, 2019. The closing turned the town into a "food desert." In January, Faith Church started serving the weekly meals as a response to the store's closing. About 125 people per week attend the meal at the church, which is just a few blocks from the closed grocery store. The USDA defines food deserts as having at least 33% or 500 people of a census tract's population in an urban area living 1 mile from a large grocery store or supermarket. Grocery chains Hy-Vee and Aldi both own land in Farmington but they have not said when they plan to build or open stores in the town.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 26 FEBRUARY 2020 - FARMINGTON, MINNESOTA: Volunteers at the community dinner at Faith Church, work in the kitchen before the dinner. Faith Church is a United Methodist Church in Farmington, MN, about 30 minutes south of the Twin Cities. The dinner is sponsored by Loaves & Fishes, a Christian organization that provides food for community dinners and foodbanks. Farmington, with a population of 21,000, is a farming community that has become a Twin Cities suburb. The city lost its only grocery store, a Family Fresh Market, in December, 2019. The closing turned the town into a "food desert." In January, Faith Church started serving the weekly meals as a response to the store's closing. About 125 people per week attend the meal at the church, which is just a few blocks from the closed grocery store. The USDA defines food deserts as having at least 33% or 500 people of a census tract's population in an urban area living 1 mile from a large grocery store or supermarket.

  • 13 JULY 2012 - FT DEFIANCE, AZ: Pastor ROGER TSOSIE, from the Window Rock Methodist Church, prays with people during the alter call at the 23rd annual Navajo Nation Camp Meeting in Ft. Defiance, north of Window Rock, AZ, on the Navajo reservation. Preachers from across the Navajo Nation, and the western US, come to Navajo Nation Camp Meeting to preach an evangelical form of Christianity. Evangelical Christians make up a growing part of the reservation - there are now more than a hundred camp meetings and tent revivals on the reservation every year. The camp meeting in Ft. Defiance draws nearly 200 people each night of its six day run. Many of the attendees convert to evangelical Christianity from traditional Navajo beliefs, Catholicism or Mormonism. "Camp meetings" are a form of Protestant Christian religious services originating in Britain and once common in rural parts of the United States. People would travel a great distance to a particular site to camp out, listen to itinerant preachers, and pray. This suited the rural life, before cars and highways were common, because rural areas often lacked traditional churches.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
