The past year has taken a huge toll on the number of people who are food insecure, but the good news is there is more than one way to tackle the issue and our Denver community has an army of people working on it. Jim and Laura speak with three individuals who are tackling food insecurity in three completely different, but amazingly innovative ways. From SAME Café where patrons are encouraged to “pay as you’re able” (whether than means actually paying, or working for your meal), to We Don’t Waste which takes leftover food from restaurants and catering companies to feed those in need, to a 24-year-old relatively new Denver resident who has taken it upon themself to build a new organization called Denver Community Fridges – the need is there and our Denver community is up for the challenge in this latest episode of Good & Grounded.
