Listen Later

Today's special edition of "Closer Look with Rose Scott" is a themed show focusing on hunger. According to the latest data from Feeding America, nearly 40% of the food-insecure population in the United States is white. Yet, in most counties, food insecurity rates among Black, Hispanic and Latino households exceed those of white households. This all comes as data also reveals, 1 in 7 people in Georgia are facing hunger. Now, amid federal funding cuts to assistance programs and inflation impacting food prices, Rose talks with local leaders about their efforts to combat summer hunger across metro Atlanta.

 

Guests include:

 

Kyle Waide, the president and CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank

 

Jon McMurdo, the development manager at Second Helpings Atlanta

 

Kashi Sehgal, the founder and CEO Retaaza
