Fighting hunger means caring for those who have an immediate need for food. But how do we deploy our resources to also develop long-term solutions? Our journey takes us to Mexico, Rhode Island, Tanzania, and Arizona. We meet Jose Ingacio Avalos Hernandez of Un Kilo de Ayuda, whose mission is to end childhood hunger now and in the future. We chat with Navyn Salem of Edesia about providing lifesaving nutrition in over 60 countries. Finally, we line up with NFL offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum of the Arizona Cardinals, who both feeds and mentors young people growing up in poverty. 

You can join us on this journey too, PepsiCo Food for Good will donate up to 1,000 meals per episode every time you share an episode on social media with the hashtag #journeytozerohunger. With your support, we can provide 6,000 nutritious meals to children to help them grow and thrive. This episode will support the United Food Bank in Arizona who provides food to over 145 food pantries and agencies in East Valley and Eastern Arizona. Learn more at https://www.unitedfoodbank.org
