Child food insecurity is on many people’s minds right now. With the current pandemic, many children and their parents are going through a rough time.

For some, the coronavirus and recent natural disasters have really put pressure on an already stretched household, with lots of children struggling to know where their next meal will come from.

There are so many hands that go into easing the burden on struggling families at times like this, and my guest this week has a unique insight into how we can ease hunger in our nation’s kids.

My guest this week is Alexis Glick, the CEO of the organization GENYOUth, she’s a CNN contributor, and a former Wall Street executive.

Alexis has dedicated her work lately to helping school communities become healthy and high-achieving through programs, empowering youth as change agents in their local communities, and engaging a network of private and public partners in a shared goal to create a healthy successful future for students, schools, and communities.

With the rapidly changing situation in our country right now, hopefully, there’s something in here for you that can either help you, or help you to help your community.
