The temporary interruption of the SNAP program brought into focus that for many folks in our community the cupboards were bare without the help of food banks, whose resources were already strained. Why in the richest country of the world do families struggle to put food on the table? Who are these populations and what are we doing to help them?
The people on our panel serve families, seniors and children who are food insecure and will discuss this work from several perspectives.
Speakers:
- Stephanie Sisson, Outreach Coordinator, Bellingham Food Bank
- Chris Orr, Executive Director, Council on Aging
- Lindsey Ahrens, Director of Food Operations , Bellingham School District
