In this episode of The Empowered Millennials Podcast, we sit down with Ashley Stanley, the powerhouse founder of Spoonfuls, a groundbreaking food rescue organization that has prevented over 35 million pounds of fresh, healthy food from going to waste—translating into 29 million meals for people in need.

Ashley shares her journey of launching Spoonfuls in 2010 and how it has grown into New England’s largest food recovery operation. We dive into the stark realities of food insecurity, the environmental impact of wasted food, and the urgent need for systemic change. Ashley’s insights are as eye-opening as they are inspiring, from her work at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health to her recognition as a Boston Business Journal ‘40 Under 40’ leader and a TEDWomen speaker.

Join us as we unpack the power of food justice, the ripple effects of food waste on climate change, and how grassroots action can create real, lasting impact. If you're passionate about sustainability, community advocacy, or just want to hear from a true game-changer, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
