She’s in charge of community outreach at Pack of Hope. She’ll explain how their organization is erasing hunger by giving food-insecure kids bags of nutritious snack over the weekend. A lot these kids would otherwise go several days without anything to eat.  After that, we’ll hear John’s interview with David Littlewood, president of TFNB Your Bank For Life.
