Iowa Interfaith Power & Light to host Faith Farm & Climate Event in Grinnell

Farmers invited to share personal climate impact stories

         Iowa Interfaith Power & Light (Iowa IPL) is inviting Iowa farmers to attend an upcoming “Faith Farms and Climate” event in one of four communities around the state. These gatherings bring people of faith and conscience together for a meal and conversation about the intersection of faith, farming, and climate action.
        “Although they can feel some of the strongest impacts, we rarely talk about the climate solutions that farmers can bring to the table,” said Tim Gossett, Associate Director at Iowa IPL. “At our Faith Farms and Climate conversations, we're intentional about bringing farmers together to talk about the ways their faith calls them to farm in ways that both grow food as well as a healthy environment that enables all of us to thrive. These conversations help clarify the kinds of resources that can inspire climate action, grow community, and teach people about farm-based solutions for resilience.”
         These gatherings will bring people of faith and conscience together for a meal and conversation about the intersection of faith, farming, and climate action. The full schedule includes:

• Coralville: Wednesday, April 3, 6-8 p.m.
• Grinnell: Monday, April 8, 6-8 p.m.
• Panora: Thursday, April 11, 6-8 p.m.
• Boone: Tuesday, April 16, 6-8 p.m.

         RSVPs are required for all events, and specific locations will be shared with those who register. To RSVP or request more information, contact Tim Gossett, Associate Director at Iowa IPL, at [email protected] or at 515-207-5044.
