Episode 7 | "Do Something" Mindset Delivers The Fruits Of The Non-Profit Labor

In this episode of "Live Local, Give Local" listeners enjoy an excellent conversation between Dave Mason, the Host, this episode's co-host, David Drazenovich, the Director of Development for Palomar Family Counseling Service, and Nita Kurmins Gilson, the Executive Director of ProduceGood. The classic story of "see a problem and solve it", ProduceGood has gone from humble beginnings, picking up fruit from trees in just one local neighborhood, to what is today a 3,000 volunteer organization encompassing 700 growers and 60 feeding partners. Listeners learn of the immense nature of the challenge in a community where 40% of food is wasted and 25% are food challenged. San Diego Gives is so proud of ProduceGood for their excellence, empathy and execution in getting precious produce from grower to plate! We were also inspired by Nita's beautiful story of inspiration - her very own daughter - who has gone on to become a lawyer focusing on social justice. Since this show is also about gleaning best practices from Sam Diego Gives members, listen in to hear about the importance and first class social media platform of ProduceGood.
