What is our ecclesial response to food insecurity, food apartheid, and food deserts? Scrimpin' and Scrapin: The Hardships and Hustle of Women and Food Security in Texas Through a Womanist Theological Lens is an introduction to the systemic injustices that cause food insecurity. Through an epistemology that interrogates and asks questions, Blair-Lavallais looks at the origins of food banks, food pantries, and community fridges. She explores the root causes of food insecurity and the ways that food is political. This book calls for a holy wrestling that seeks to find solutions that transform the experiences of women in Texas from barely getting by to being food secure.

This is the moment to be ecclesial disruptors of a system that has caused harm and left many of our neighbors living in food deserts and uncertain about their access to healthy food.
