On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant investigates what is driving this unprecedented spike in food insecurity and asks whether relief agencies can cope with relentless community demand. Foodbank Chief Executive Kylea Tink outlines how widespread the hunger crisis has become, why working families and younger demographics are finding themselves in unfamiliar territory, and what systemic changes are needed to offer relief. Then, Daniel Moorfield, Chief Executive of food rescue charity SecondBite, breaks down the strain on frontline organizations, the impact of falling donations during tough economic times, and why anyone struggling should still reach out for support.
