Nourishing communities: a day in the life of a foodbank team leader

Update: 2023-07-02

Description

Ever wondered how a foodbank operates behind the scenes? We were fortunate enough to chat with Joel Williams, team leader at Manukau Community Ministries, one of the busiest Salvation Army foodbanks in New Zealand.

We discuss:

- how the foodbank operates and gets enough food for the community

- the impact a food parcel can have on someone's life

- maintaining wellbeing when working in an environment that can be highly emotional

It was awesome talking to Joel about his passion for this work - enjoy the episode!
