  • Summary

  • For many families, a fruit basket on the kitchen counter and a stocked refrigerator are the norm. We don’t even think twice about it. However, that’s not the case for everyone.

    In this episode, we take a deeper dive into food insecurity. We invited onto the show Kroger Corporate Affairs Manager Jessica Sharp and longtime Food Pantry volunteers John and Betsy Bowling, who are Holy Trinity Catholic Church and St. Vincent de Paul Holy Trinity Conference members.

    • Kroger's response to rising grocery costs.
    • The life-changing impact regular access to healthy food can have on a community.
    • How the Bowling's love story began at the Food Pantry?
    • The Food Pantry is serving 20 times more people than the initial estimate in 2014. As we celebrate its 10-year anniversary, we reflect on the unique comradery between volunteers and clients.
