Food Insecurity Solutions Part 2: Foodbanks, Food Rescue, and Meals on Wheels

 Some foodbanks broke records during the government shutdown for the amount of food they handed out. SNAP benefits were suspended temporarily, and its requirements have changed. Although the need has eased slightly, food insecurity remains an issue. By the latest data, thirteen percent of U.S. households are unable to acquire enough food. Foodbanks and food rescue organizations provide a safety net for our neighbors. How are they doing it, and what kind of difference are they making? Interview guests: Executive Director Ohio Association of Foodbanks Joree Novotny, CEO Freestore Foodbank Kurt Reiber, Marketing and Advocacy Manager The Foodbank Inc.
