For the newly food insecure, help that preserves dignity

Odessa Davis is used to helping families as a public school teacher and summer camp director in Maryland’s Montgomery County.

Guests: Odessa Davis, Hilary Salmon and Radha Muthiah of Capital Area Food Bank, Alex Moore of DC Central Kitchen, and food insecurity expert Caitlin Caspi. Hosted by Ibrahim Onafeko.
