Fighting Food Insecurity For Over One Million San Diegans Takes Passion, Compassion and Partnerships

Dave Mason, our guest Host, and co-Host, Shiva Kabra, a high school student, have an important conversation with Casey Castillo, the CEO of the Jacobs Cushman San Diego Food Bank, and Vanessa Ruiz, the Vice President of Operations. We learns the ins and outs of how the San Diego Food Banks helps feed 400,000 people every month through its partnerships with over 500 non-profits, as well as direct support through its 200 distribution sites around the County. We also learn that Vanessa is soon to have her 20th Anniversary with the San Diego Food Bank. Congrats and thank you, Vanessa!
