Thank you to those who attended our Young Leaders United Speaker Series Panel Discussion on Dec. 9. We hope the conversation increased your awareness of the impact hunger has on a national and local level and the challenges so many of our neighbors are facing on a daily basis.
A special thank you to our panel of experts: Gabby McLoughlin, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Washington University at St. Louis, Thomas Summerfelt, Vice President of Research at Feeding America, and Kellie O'Connell, CEO of Lakeview Pantry. We appreciate you sharing your insight on this important topic and offering ways we can all help to make a difference.
