121 - Empowering Teams in Fueling Success in Health and Hunger Advocacy with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida's Dawn Koffarnus

Your host, Doug Noll, talks with the CFO and Chief Health Systems Officer of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Dawn Koffarnus. Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a private, nonprofit organization that collects, stores, and distributes donated food to more than 625 feeding partners in seven Central Florida counties. Second Harvest Food Bank, a major player in the fight against hunger, distributes an astounding 300,000 meals per day to the food-insecure population in Central Florida. The magnitude of this need is often overlooked or misunderstood by the media. The need for food has evolved over the years due to various economic factors and the recent pandemic. Despite the economy rebounding, the need for food remains significant. The pandemic, while devastating, saw the community rallying together, providing increased financial support to help those in need. However, the long-term impacts of the pandemic, coupled with other factors like inflation and supply chain issues, means that the need for food persists.
