Trisha Rayner on Food Insecurity, Health, & the Need for Protein

Trisha Rayner is the Chief Development and External Affairs Officer of the Freestore Foodbank in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Trisha and I met during my latest campaign for Global Food Justice Alliance. NFL player Markus Bailey and I teamed up to provide food-insecure kids in the Cincinnati area with healthy, protein-packed meat sticks. 

The Freestore Foodbank is the largest emergency food and services provider to children and families in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana. With a network of 540 community partner agencies, Freestore Foodbank provides 37.7 million meals each year.

If you are curious about getting involved with your local food pantry or want to learn more about how food banks serve communities in need, this is a must-listen conversation.
