Household Food Access in Rhode Island

This inaugural episode tackles the challenge of food security, examining why so many Rhode Islanders struggle to put food on the table and what can be done about it. Recent data illustrate the urgency – hunger is widely perceived as a serious problem statewide, and nearly half of Rhode Island households experienced some level of food insecurity in the last year. Melissa Cherney, the newly appointed CEO of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, joins host Dr. Melissa Clark to share insights from the front lines of this issue. Cherney brings nearly two decades of hunger relief experience (having led North Dakota’s largest food bank) and a passion for advocacy in policy and partnerships. Together, they will explore how Rhode Island can address food insecurity with urgency, compassion, and innovation.
