72: Scaling Compassion: Toni Scott on Managing the Complex Supply Chain of Food Banks
from She Supply Chains · host Supply Chain Experts | Katie Holman & Courtney Andersen
Supply chain leadership meets community impact in this episode. We are joined by Toni Scott, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Second Harvest Heartland, who shares her journey from a 20-year career at General Mills to leading one of the nation's largest hunger-relief organizations. Toni Scott describes the supply chain as a complex, end-to-end "puzzle". This problem-solving mindset is now applied to Second Harvest Heartland, where she manages a "neighbor-first" strategy that prioritizes community needs over traditional corporate margins. A major focus of her leadership has been "shortening the line" by utilizing data and advocacy to address the root causes of hunger, such as housing and childcare, rather than just providing emergency food support. ✨ Connect with Toni! 📱LinkedIn | Toni 📱Second Harvest Heartland 💻Learn more on the topics discussed here: Lean Principles: A Mechanism for Nonprofit Organizations' Growth and Sustainability Feeding Dignity: A 2026 Blueprint for Food Aid in a Divided World 💵 Arise Financial Check out Arise Financial Coaching and their Financial Goal Accelerator program, and let them know She Supply Chains sent you! ✨ Connect with us! 📱LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-supply-chains/ 📱INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/shesupplychainspodcast/ 📱TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@shesupplychainspodcast 🎧 Call to Action Follow She Supply Chains on your favorite podcast app Leave us a review — it helps more listeners find the show Share this episode with someone you think would love it
