During the holiday season, many of us look forward to meals shared with family and friends. For those facing food insecurity, however, this time of year can bring added pressure. In this episode of Everyone at the Table, we delve into how innovations in food sourcing and corporate philanthropy are meeting heightened holiday needs. Join us as we talk with Brian Pauquette, Director of Associate Giving and Volunteerism at Nationwide Insurance, and Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s Victoria Brown and Craig Truax, to discuss creative approaches that make a difference this season. Thanks for listening!"

On this episode of “Everyone at the Table” we discuss all things Hunger Action Month. A monthlong effort to raise awareness and take action to end hunger. We are joined by Sarah Kuhns, the Advocacy and Engagement Manager at the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. And Katie Cramer, Philanthropy, Events and DEI Manager from Big Lots.

More about HAM: September is Hunger Action Month, and Mid-Ohio Food Collective is spreading the word that hunger exists in every community.

In this special 'live' episode of “Everyone at the Table,” host Scott Light sits down with Mid-Ohio Food Collective's President and CEO, Matt Habash, to discuss the current state of hunger and poverty in our community. Celebrating Matt's 40th year of service at MOFC, this episode was recorded in front of a live audience made up of financial donors, food donors, volunteers, board members, agency partners, and more – all the folks who make the collective’s work possible every day. Tune in to hear Matt’s reflections on the progress made over the past four decades and his vision for the future of ending hunger. This special evening was a huge success, providing a wonderful opportunity to unite MOFC supporters.
