In today's show we revisit conversations about what it means to challenge the dominant narratives around hunger in the United States, and why some emergency food providers are looking at root causes of food insecurity as they face growing numbers of people seeking food assistance.
Amanda Nickey and Stephanie Solomon of Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a Community Food Resource Center in Bloomington Indiana join us in the studio.
In our conversations, we're looking at food insecurity and how the narratives surrounding poverty can distort the lived experiences of people in our community.
We examine the role isolation plays in food insecurity, and we talk about what it can mean for food providers to move from a charity model to a model of social justice.
Amanda Nickey and Stephanie Solomon are our guests, from Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, a community food resource center in Bloomington, Indiana.
Note: These conversations first aired in January and early Feburary of 2018.
