Food Insecurity Challenges & Solutions
January 22, 2023 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
Speakers: Darcy Freedman, PhD, Professor, CWRU School of Medicine
Julie Johnson, CEO, The Hunger Network.

Food shortages and increases in food costs have made it difficult for the Cleveland Food Bank to supply distribution sites. Cleveland, with its high level of poverty and food deserts, has a higher rate of food insecurity than Ohio in general. A 21st century plan is a partial solution.
