Hunger and the Work Ahead in Portage County

What now? From a county treasurer’s “Hunger Run” to co-ops and community gardens, from civic focus to shared goals—how ordinary neighbors can move a county toward no child hungry. You’ll hear from: • John Kennedy • Sabrina Christian-Bennett • Ben Wolford, Publisher of The Portager • Ben and Patrick Childers, co-founder Odd Conduit Media In this episode: • Why focus matters: align orgs and volunteers on a single north star—no child hungry in Portage County—and measure every effort against it. • What stuck from COVID (drive-through access) and what didn’t (emergency dollars)—and why stigma still shapes the user experience. • A hard update: Rural Relief’s closure (funding + health) and what that signals about fragility at the last mile. • Practical on-ramps: join a local board, keep 211 listings accurate, start/expand a garden plot, organize quarterly cross-org huddles.
