Oct 28 · 19 Mentions
Paul WoodhullNARRATOR
Hi, I'm Paul Woodhull, the executive producer of Add Passion and Stir from Share Our Strength and the No Kid Hungry campaign.
Paul WoodhullNARRATOR
On this very special episode of Add Passion and Stir, we are revisiting a conversation from November of 2024 with the president and executive director of the Albertsons Companies Foundation, Christy Duncan Anderson.
Paul WoodhullNARRATOR
Billy Shore, the co-founder of Share Our Strength, is joined by Lillian Singh, the senior vice president of family economic opportunity at Share Our Strength.
Paul WoodhullNARRATOR
to discuss what the Grocery Chains Foundation is doing to fight hunger in neighborhoods across the country.
Christy Duncan AndersonGUEST
We asked our neighbors, we asked our customers, we did a poll to find out what they cared about, to find out what they thought made the most sense for us to participate in.
Billy ShoreHOST
Welcome back to Add Passion and Stir.
Billy ShoreHOST
This is the conversation that we're always hoping to have with creative individuals who are solving some of the toughest problems in our country.
Billy ShoreHOST
I'm here today with my colleague from Share Our Strength, Lillian Singh, who is our Senior VP of Family Economic Mobility.
Joanne ChangGUEST
Yeah, we had the unofficial launch of the Joy of Cookies by hosting a 575-person cookie swap where we invited bakers to join us at Flour Boston Common.
Joanne ChangGUEST
Everybody bought a ticket through Share Our Strength, which is a national organization to end childhood hunger in America.
Joanne ChangGUEST
And we ended up raising $25,000 for Share Our Strength.
Joanne ChangGUEST
So every baker bought a ticket and brought four dozen cookies to the commons.
Jim BraudeHOST
That's unbelievable.
Jim BraudeHOST
Explain what they do and all the proceeds from this thing went to them.
Joanne ChangGUEST
Absolutely.
Joanne ChangGUEST
I mean, Share Our Strength has been around for 40 years.
Victoria ManningGUEST
Turns out just a couple of days prior to him making that video, um, s- this leftist nonprofit started publicizing this same talking point.
Victoria ManningGUEST
Turns out the Virginia Department of Social Services and a leftist nonprofit called Share Our Strength were the ones that had commissioned the study.
Victoria ManningGUEST
Well, I also found some close ties between Senator Mark Warner and the organization Share Our Strength.
Victoria ManningGUEST
The head of the Virginia Department of Social Services used to work for the organization-
Amy JacobsonHOST
Mm.
Amy JacobsonHOST
Hmm
Victoria ManningGUEST
... and Mark Warner has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the group.
Victoria ManningGUEST
And Share Our Strength also lobbied in favor of Senator Mark Warner's legislation that would provide grants to organizations like Share Our Strength.
Jimmy FrischlingHOST
Launched No Kid Hungry campaign, rallied CEOs, chefs, and, and, uh, entertainers across the country with a single idea that no child in America should go hungry.
Jimmy FrischlingHOST
So please welcome founder and executive chair of Share Our Strength, Mr. Billy Shore, who's been a really good friend of Brandon.
Jimmy FrischlingHOST
We appreciate you, sir.
Jimmy FrischlingHOST
Thank you for being here.
Billy ShoreGUEST
And so, you know, we didn't think about it at, particularly in terms of like we're gonna create a movement, but we have to find ways to get more folks involved.
Billy ShoreGUEST
And we knew that the restaurant industry was the, the key to that from the very beginning.
Billy ShoreGUEST
Like literally from the first day of Share Our Strength, we thought, "Who would care about what we're doing? Well, who makes their livelihood from feeding people?"
Jimmy FrischlingHOST
Yeah.
Billy ShoreHOST
Welcome back to Add Passion and Stir.
Billy ShoreHOST
This is the podcast put on by Share Our Strength and our producers at District Productive to address some of the most important issues facing our country and sometimes even around the world, uh, and featuring people who are bringing innovative and powerful and passionate ideas to addressing those issues.
Billy ShoreHOST
Uh, today our guest is Radha Muthiah, the President and CEO of the Capital Area Food Bank.
Billy ShoreHOST
Um, I know Radha a, a little bit personally, but, uh, very well by reputation because almost everywhere I go in the hunger space, people say that you've got to listen and learn from Radha.
9 MINS LATER
Billy ShoreHOST
And so tell me, what year did you start at the Food Bank?
Radha MuthiahGUEST
In 2018, spring 2018.
Billy ShoreHOST
You know, what's so interesting to me about your career, uh, and I'm, I, I feel like I can identify with it in a way because I commute to Washington now for Share Our Strength, but I commute from a small town in Maine, and I've gotten involved in a number of local efforts.
Billy ShoreHOST
And I'm so interested in how you've gone from working at the most global level possible, uh, in terms of the United Nations and the other things you've talked about, to a, a community level where, for me at least, the, um, the proximity that I feel to the issues and the people that I work with, unlike the national policy work, fuels, I think, my creativity, my commitment, my energy in ways that, you know, I hadn't really appreciated.
Andrew KaplanHOST
It's a cookie potluck in Boston hosted by Chef Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery, and it's celebrating her new book, The Joy of Cookies.
Andrew KaplanHOST
And this raises money for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign.
Andrew KaplanHOST
I did mention Joanne's book back in episode 35 of Heard, and now I've got the details on the event.
Andrew KaplanHOST
It's this Sunday, October 18th, from 11:00 to 1:00 on Boston Common, right next to Flour's Boston Common location, and the book comes out two days later on October 20th.
Andrew KaplanHOST
Then everyone gets to taste and take pictures and fill a bag with cookies to take home.
Andrew KaplanHOST
And every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to No Kid Hungry to help end childhood hunger.
Andrew KaplanHOST
This one's personal for me because Joanne is on the board of Share Our Strength, and I happen to be on their National Leadership Council, so I know firsthand how much this organization does to make sure kids get the meals they need.
Andrew KaplanHOST
If you're anywhere near Boston this weekend, grab a ticket and bake a few dozen cookies, and if you cannot make it, you can still donate.
Jason RobertsGUEST
Oregon, sorry, yes.
Jason RobertsGUEST
I created a bike ride whilst living in the States about 13 years ago called Chef's Cycle, and we raise money for Share Our Strength.
Jason RobertsGUEST
And what that is is raising money to help feed kids when they get to school.
Jason RobertsGUEST
So it's a school food program.
Noah GlassGUEST
...
Noah GlassGUEST
Portillo's, Culinary Institute of America, and Share Our Strength, which is the parent to No Kid Hungry, and to join YPO.
Noah GlassGUEST
But the reason why all of that was possible is I'd built an incredible executive team at Olo, and I knew that the company was in really good hands as I stepped away for parental leave, and also as I would spend some more time on the extracurriculars.
Noah GlassGUEST
And I thought, [clears throat] particularly with Portillo's, stick with that, if I can learn how restaurants think, how boardrooms actually work, not just how I imagine they work, but if I can be in the room where it happens, to steal a phrase from Hamilton.
