About this episode
Hunger in America is solvable—and this episode features the leaders proving that. Amanda Renteria talks with chefs Amanda and Isaac Toups, who transformed their New Orleans restaurant into a powerful community food operation during COVID, ultimately providing over 175,000 meals. They discuss the tie between transportation access and food access and what families actually need to thrive. Then, Billy Shore of Share Our Strength and No Kid Hungry explains the creation and expansion of Summer EBT, one of the most significant federal anti-hunger programs in decades. Together, these stories reveal how communities and government can fix food insecurity for good.
