Michael Dunne: I’m Michael Dunne. For the majority of us, the idea of not knowing where our next meal is coming from is completely foreign. For many of us, the certainty of food is like the certainty of the sunrise and rain in winter. But for many people in our community and in our state, food stability is completely foreign. Today, on the show and all this week, we’re going to focus on hunger in our state. Who is hungry, how institutions try and help, and what more we all can do. Today, we’re going to talk with an author and a special assignment correspondent for lookout Eugene, who has done a deep dive into hunger in Lane County, both from her vantage point as a writer and as a volunteer at the food for Lane County dining room.
Lauren, thanks so much for coming into the studio and talking with us…
