Bayou to Beltway focusing on food (in)security with Natasha Curley of Second Harvest and Kohlie Frantzen of Helical Outposts.
Southwest Louisiana has had some tough economic times since the great oil bust of 2014 plunged incomes downward. Ever wonder what effect that has had on the well-being of those who lost their jobs or who were at the bottom of the income pyramid before the crash. How do they feed their families? Join me this Wednesday at 12:30 to hear from Natasha Curley from Second Harvest and Kohlie Frantzen, from Helical Outposts. We’ll talk about the problem of hunger insecurity in Acadiana. We discuss the difficulties faced by 42 million Americans that can’t always count on enough to eat and what organizations and individuals are doing in Acadiana to address this pressing need.
