As federal funding cuts shift more responsibility for food insecurity to local communities, Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette talk with Julie Butner, president and CEO of the Tarrant Area Food Bank, one of the largest food banks in the United States, serving 13 counties around Fort Worth, Texas.
Butner reveals that food bank clients are often working families who simply can’t afford basic necessities and explains how modern food banks have evolved far beyond emergency food distribution to address root causes through health-care partnerships, nutrition education, and community gardens. This eye-opening conversation challenges common misconceptions about who needs food assistance and addresses debates about the roles of government and private philanthropy.
