Nearly 1/3rd of children in Washington, DC experience food insecurity. Those numbers certainly did not improve during a global pandemic that disrupted so many lives. That's where the wonderful folks at the https://dcfoodproject.org/ (DC Food Project)come in. As a fledgling nonprofit, DCFP has made a tremendous impact in a really short amount of time. They've done work in lots of schools, given guidance to cities around the country, and provided over 1 million meals for families in need. 2 of the co-founders, Lucie Leblois and Alyssa McLellan were kind enough to join the show. We discussed logistical challenges, becoming too good at helping and being overly relied upon, and not knowing if it would all work out. Great conversation with a couple women doing amazing work.
