With a diverse group of foodbank directors, Joree discusses the situation that our foodbank network is facing. They discuss the striking increase in need, the unsustainable food purchasing they must do, and the failing infrastructure that needs repair. These foodbank directors are all experiencing similar challenges, all while dealing with unique regional disparities and differences.
