Metro United Way is convening partners from the front lines of food access and the policy arena to examine how direct service experience can drive smarter, more effective solutions — and what providers are seeing as community needs continue to rise. Because ensuring no one goes hungry is only the starting point — our community should be positioned to thrive.

Featuring Vincent James (Dare to Care), Rhonda Bowles Kumar (Feed Louisville), Representative Rachel Roarx (KY House District 38), and Velvet Welch (Sacred Earth Community Garden LLC), this discussion will spotlight the path from pantry to policy and the systems change our community needs.
