In times when food waste is rampant while far too many don't know where their next meal will come from, most know that feeding the need is an imperative -- but few can articulate the "who," "what," "where," and "how." David Hott, CEO of Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen in San Jose, CA, brings food recovery experts from far and wide to the table to take deep dives into the opportunities and challenges experienced by those individuals and organizations tackling food insecurity head-on -- so that together, we can keep our communities fed.
David invites Dr. Victor Cisneros of Eisenhower Health in the Coachella Valley for a discussion about the intersections of food insecurity and the social determinants of health, barriers to complete nutrition, and how food recovery organizations and healthcare providers can work together to better serve our communities and improve health outcomes.
