Valley Edition: Food Banks in the Mat-Su
M
8:15Mike MalevskyHOST
Since the two of you do different things around the same issue of providing food for people who need food, how do you work together with one another or any other entity that is similar in nature?
J
8:29Jennifer BrandtGUEST
And we meet, kind of come together once a month and talk about the issues that are happening in our community.
J
8:34Jennifer BrandtGUEST
But, you know, just personally, you know, just talking to other executive directors, I really connected with Luanne and saw all the incredible work that she's doing up there in her community.
J
8:43Jennifer BrandtGUEST
And so just really picking her brain and seeing what she's doing and how she's doing it and what's working and what's not working.
J
8:50Jennifer BrandtGUEST
And a lot of the other executive directors have been just very generous with their time and their thoughts and their resources.
J
8:55Jennifer BrandtGUEST
So It's just really communication, talking with each other, figuring out what the Mat-Su needs at whole, what's working for one person, what's not working for another.
