It Started With 15 Meals, Now It's 2 Million | From Meal Service to Culinary Career Training: Shepherd's Table Ep. 168

If you care about homelessness and food insecurity, you've probably asked yourself: where can my support actually change someone's life for good, not just for a night? 43 years ago, 15 people sat down to dinner in a small house kitchen in Montgomery County. Today, Shepherd's Table has served over 2 million meals and has never missed a single day. Daniella Burgos, Director of Development, joins Jamie to talk about how their community's response to hunger grew into something far bigger than a soup kitchen — a 12-week Culinary Skills Training Program that has turned meal guests into professional chefs, a free eye clinic, and a clothing closet that restores dignity one outfit at a time. With neighbors in Montgomery County still facing food insecurity, homelessness, and poverty every day, Shepherd's Table hasn't stopped showing up.
