#005 - Fighting Food Insecurity by the Numbers - with Austin LaRoche
In this episode we catch up with FischerJordan senior analyst Austin LaRoche about his research into the current state of food insecurity in the U.S. - post-COVID especially - and what FischerJordan is doing about it. Some of the things we cover in this special episode:
- Ins-and-outs of various operations in the U.S. to combat food insecurity
- How to ensure the largest amount of your donations are going directly to people in need when giving to non-profit organizations
- Resources for ensuring transparency in non-profit donations
We wrap up with an inside look at a new initiative at FischerJordan to try to address the problem of food insecurity in the communities where we operate - and how food banks and pantries can help out.
