"In 2020, Feeding America estimated that 50 million Americans were food insecure. That is ~15% of Americans consistently did not have access to enough healthy food to provide their households 3 meals a day. Moreover, those disproportionately affected belonged to communities of color, were senior citizens and children. The goal of this talk is to hear from executives from large, established as well as upcoming, innovative non-profits talk about the current systems in place to fight hunger and the key challenges & opportunities we face coming out of the pandemic.
Panelists: We will host executives from the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank, Feeding America and TopBox for a discussion moderated by Professor Megan Kashner, Director of Social Impact and Sustainability at Kellogg
