Rethink Food exists to bridge the gap between food waste and food insecurity. In this episode, we discuss the unique ways in which they are changing the way we look at food and how we can help get this resource to the right people. Chef Jenner joined us to discuss how his restaurant Esme contributes to the community including its partnership with Rethink.

It was eye-opening to hear their perspectives and experiences as they have created structures for change. Food insecurity affects the daily lives of so many and we have the resources to help change that. Thank you all for supporting! Let me know what you think on Insta or Tik Tok!

Here are the details of our guests below!
