Growing Lasting Solutions to Hunger

When you are hungry, you only have one problem. Once hunger comes off the table and is replaced with hope, families can focus on the next opportunity in their lives. Max Finberg, president and CEO of Growing Hope Globally, joins Gerry Brisson, president and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank, and Dr. Phil Knight this weekend on Food First Michigan. Max is a leader who understands the power and significance of food. Growing Hope Globally works with farmers in the United States to serve and support farmers overseas. Their mission is to “link the grassroots energy and commitment of rural communities in the U.S. with the capability and desire of smallholder farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger.” Like the Michigan food bank network, Growing Hope Globally engages communities in the pursuit of food security and believes that hunger can be solved. Recognizing the power of the food first concept changes the dynamics for all social programming. It makes food a priority. The impact of putting food first will be experienced through positive outcomes in education, healthcare, and workforce development. Tune in this weekend on WJR Radio or NewsTalk 760 AM for the inspirational conversation on food and HOPE!
