One in five people in Greater Cincinnati is food insecure--experiencing not just hunger, but the strain and anxiety of figuring out where their next meal will come from. And yet, 40% of all food prepared--in restaurants, groceries, and more--is wasted. Last Mile Food Rescue and St. Vincent de Paul will present on food rescue, their partnership, the experience of poverty and hunger, and meaningful action in local communities. Expect to take part in some participatory activities during this presentation.

Moderators: Erin Lord is the volunteer coordinator for Last Mile Food Rescue, working to end hunger and food waste in Cincinnati and NKY. Chris Kelley is Director of Education for SVDP-Cincinnati and leads the Ozanam Center in helping community members better understand our neighbors' needs. Madi Eftink is the Education Program Manager for SVDP-Cincinnati where she helps lead the Ozanam Center’s efforts.
