Eating Together - The Campaign

What is the Eating Together Campaign?


Research has repeatedly shown that families who regularly share meals bond and connect more effectively, have fewer problems, and stay together. With the proclamation of Family Day by City of Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in 2011, Touchstone Family Association launched the Eating Together Campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of families eating together, and to raise funds for Touchstone’s barrier-free Front Porch Program – a program that provides counselling to families in need and have no place to turn.

eating togetherTouchstone Family Association has again partnered with Richmond Family Place to host a FREE Pancake Breakfast, cooked and served by the Richmond Firefighters Charitable Society, local 1286 and supported by the Richmond School District and the City of Richmond.
