Sinopsis

Like debt problems, food insecurity can happen to anyone. What causes individuals and families to require food assistance? On today's podcast, we have first-time guest Wendi Campbell, CEO at The Food Bank of Waterloo Region to help us get a better understanding of local food issues and what "food insecurity" really means. Wendi also addresses common misconceptions surrounding food bank visitors and discusses the importance of working together as a society to help alleviate the problem of food insecurity.  The Food Bank of Waterloo Region is accepting non-perishable food donations through contactless drop-offs at their location on 50 Alpine Court in Kitchener, ON. Financial donations can be made online at https://www.thefoodbank.ca/donate/. Of course, if you are outside of the K-W region, you can donate to your local food bank if you have the means.   Helpful links: The Food Bank of Waterloo Region Website: https://www.thefoodbank.ca/ Stats on Hunger in Waterloo Region: https://www.thefoodbank.ca/network/hunge
