Fighting Summer Hunger, Fur-Friendly Fun & Flavorful Finds

Get ready for a feel-good, community-focused episode of Suncoast View! As the school year comes to a close, we highlight an important mission led by All Faiths Food Bank to fight summer hunger for thousands of local children. Nelle S. Miller, President and CEO of All Faiths Food Bank, and Dr. Lashawn Frost, Chair of the Campaign Against Summer Hunger, join us to share how their 13th annual campaign is making a real difference—and how you can help. We’re also talking about a fun, fur-friendly way to give back! The “Get Your Mutt Movin’” 5K is happening this weekend at Payne Park, supporting the lifesaving work of Satchel’s Last Resort Animal Shelter. Race Director Anne Middleton and Director of Development Muffy Lavens stop by with all the details. Plus, we preview the exciting BAM Fest in Bradenton, featuring live performances and local artists, and sit down with Dr. Christina Captain to discuss solutions for nerve issues and improving your quality of life. And of course, we head into the kitchen! Stephnia Fochi from The Empanada Girl Cafe is whipping up a delicious Italian artichoke pie while sharing details about their new location on South Tamiami Trail. It’s a packed show full of community, compassion, and great food—you won’t want to miss it!
