Helping Hands with Rebecca Duncan

Join Kosta and his guest: Rebecca Duncan, Director at Helping Hands of Putnam County.In this episode: One of the biggest misconceptions about poverty in our area is that welfare primarily goes to people who are not working. When in reality, the problem isn’t that people aren’t working, it's that our employers aren’t paying enough. Will you tell us about how this cycle is impacting Putnam County in 2024? Today, what do you think is the greatest challenge we face for the working class of our community? Is it workforce, housing, food insecurity, healthcare, childcare or all of the above? How does Helping Hands fill the gaps where our other social services can’t?Find out more about Helping Hands of Putnam County: https://www.pchelpinghands.org/Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Miss Sallie's Market.Find out more about Miss Sallie's Market:https://www.misssallies.com/
