Local hunger-relief organizations are facing multiple pressures at once: a significant increase in need, combined with a decline in federal funding – as well as uncertain state funding, with North Carolina still operating without a budget. How are local leaders managing that situation?

Aaron welcomes Melissa Driver Beard of Pittsboro’s CORA Food Pantry and Suzanne Tormollen of TABLE to discuss how they’re navigating those pressures – and what people can do to help.
