S1 E4: Fighting Hunger Beyond Food (Thomas Mantz, Feeding Tampa Bay)

What if solving childhood hunger is about more than just food?

Thomas Mantz, President and CEO of Feeding Tampa Bay, joins host Jennie Treby to explore the deeper challenges of food insecurity and how it impacts our communities, especially children. In this episode, they discuss:

• The staggering reality of food insecurity in the U.S.
• Why prevention is key to breaking the cycle of hunger and transforming lives
• How Feeding Tampa Bay connects families to critical resources beyond food
• New research that shows why Weekend Backpack programs are not effective

Tune in to discover how we can all play a part in creating a world where nobody goes hungry—and why Mantz believes, “Nobody wins unless everybody wins.”
