Are you feeling the pinch of rising grocery prices and increased living costs? Discover how the growing need for food banks is being met innovatively and compassionately by Second Harvest of the Greater Valley, in my conversation with their Communications and Fund Development Director, Jessica Vaughn. Jessica unpacks the unique challenges of food access equity, the upcoming Empty Bowls Benefit, and the convenience of Smart Lockers for those unable to reach food pantries and mobile sites. Together, we dissect the teeter-totter effect caused by escalating costs of groceries, gas, and utilities - a struggle for many families to keep their boat afloat.

In the spirit of Hunger Action Month, Jessica and I delve into the numerous ways you too can lend a hand to Second Harvest of the Greater Valley. From participating in the Empty Bowls Benefit to the gastronomic delights of Vine House's 4-Course for a Cause, there's an opportunity for everyone to make a difference. Additionally, we touch on the impact of Covid-19 on the local community and how Second Harvest is dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to nourishing meals. Lastly, stay tuned as we share useful tips on how you can stay connected and show your support for the organization through social media.
