With rising costs of living across the nation and around the world, the challenges of military spouse employment and childcare, and the unanticipated challenges of military life, it’s no surprise that food insecurity is on the rise among Navy families. Join host Sergio Rodriguez, and co-host Ali Maruca, as they chat with Delia Johnson, program director of the Combat Hunger initiative with the Military Family Advisory Network. You’ll also hear from guest Cat Gehry, Navy Veteran and spouse, and mother of four, and her experience to struggle to put food on the table for her family.
