Packing Bags and Paying Tabs

In this episode of The Next Up Podcast, host Marlon Gordon sits down with Samantha Bourque from National Food Group and Zee Zees for a powerful conversation about food insecurity, corporate social responsibility, and how purpose-driven work can create real change in communities across the country.From Samantha’s journey through the Detroit Lions, ESPN, and Ford Motor Company to her current role leading community impact initiatives, the conversation explores how food can be a vehicle for education, equity, and connection. They dive into hunger relief efforts, partnerships with organizations like Blessings in a Backpack and Detroit Food Academy, sustainability and food waste reduction, and the many unexpected career paths that exist within the food industry beyond “just being a chef.”The episode also takes a deep look at school meal debt and National Food Group’s Grab The Tab initiative, which has helped pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid school lunch balances nationwide. Samantha shares why school meal debt continues to rise, how it affects students and schools in every type of community, and what individuals and organizations can do locally to help ensure kids have access to food beyond the school day.If you care about food insecurity, school meals, sustainability, corporate philanthropy, and making a meaningful impact through business, this episode is a must-watch.===========================Connect with our guests! ===========================Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zeezeesfoods/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalFoodGroupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeeZeesFoodsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/zee-zees-foods/posts/?feedView=allLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-food-group/posts/?feedView=all===========================Connect with us! ===========================Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtgen_network/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nextuptalkshow/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtgenmarlon/ https://www.facebook.com/NxtGenNetworkAgencyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nxtgen-network/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NxtGen_Network TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nxtgen.network ===========================================Subscribe and Listen to the Next Up Podcast HERE:📱 ===========================================➡︎ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@nxtgennetwork/podcasts➡︎ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/next-up-podcast/id1598968019➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ex3Oj7aodeUe48EJGy9Dz ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️00:00 Introduction to Food Insecurity and Community Impact02:51 Samantha's Journey: From NFL to Food Advocacy05:58 The Role of Zee Zee's in Combating Food Insecurity08:50 Project Serve: Philanthropic Initiatives at Zee Zee's11:56 The Importance of Community Engagement and Education15:05 Collaborations with Nonprofits and Local Organizations17:46 Innovative Programs: Grab the Tab and Blessings in a Backpack20:53 The Challenge of School Meal Debt23:59 Future Plans and Growth for Zee Zee's27:08 Conclusion: The Path Forward in Food Advocacy
