CARE’s Hurricane Melissa Response; Nonprofits expand food, job relief efforts amid government shutdown; “Natchez” examines dual perception of antebellum tourism
Emergency relief and recovery efforts are underway in the Caribbean following widespread destruction of Hurricane Melissa. At least 67 people are dead, in addition to the billions of dollars in damages. One of the organizations on the ground providing aid is CARE, a global humanitarian nonprofit that's based in Atlanta. We hear from Jonathan Arogeti, the Caribbean Humanitarian Response Lead at CARE.
Plus, as the federal government shutdown continues, groups offering support across Georgia are stepping up to meet growing community needs. “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott speaks with leaders from three local organizations about their expanded efforts to help individuals and families in need of food, as well as jobs following mass layoffs.
Guests include:
- Jenny Taylor, vice president of career services and the chief mission officer at Goodwill of North Georgia
- Jasmine Crowe-Houston, the founder and CEO of Goodr
- Nancy Triplett, a board member and donor relations representative for Never Alone Food Pantry
Lastly, the documentary, “Natchez,” challenges the stories being told about a small Mississippi city that thrivess from antebellum tourism. The film reveals residents' reckoning with the dual perception of Natchez and its history of slavery. Ahead of the documentary’s exclusive opening at the Tara Theatre on November 7th, we hear from the film’s director, Suzannah Herbert.
