We speak with Kara Irani, Director of Marketing and Communications for Manna Food Bank. Manna Food Bank is a non-profit organization serving Western North Carolina since 1983 and an accredited member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization. Their main goal is to end hunger in WNC. Kara talks about the growing need in our region for Manna's services as the economic upheavals from Covid-19 have left many more people in dire straits. The sheer numbers she is seeing compared to this time last year is astronomical. We hear how Manna and other organizations like it are working at the Federal level to change SNAP regulations and combat the root causes of poverty and hunger. We urge any of you who can to donate or volunteer for Manna or any other food bank or food pantry in your area this holiday season. We also urge you to write, call and push your representatives to do more about the root causes and help with the problems facing all of us as the economic fall out of Covid-19 continues. There are people who used to donate to and volunteer at Manna who are now asking for help. It could happen to any of us.
