Have you ever opened your pantry to find it bare, not by choice but because of circumstances beyond your control? Tim Butler of the East Texas Food Bank invites us to confront this reality, sharing insights into the lives of 250,000 East Texans facing food insecurity. We explore the heart-wrenching decisions that families endure daily, from children missing school lunches to seniors rationing their meals. As the chief development officer for the food bank, Butler provides a glimpse into the strategies and partnerships that enable the organization's mission to combat hunger and ignite hope across communities.
Our conversation takes you behind the scenes of the East Texas Food Bank's extensive network of 200 partner food pantries and soup kitchens, which collectively served 150,000 households last year. Butler also offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming signature event, Empty Bowls, designed to raise funds and awareness. This unique campaign not only highlights the culinary talents of local restaurants but also showcases the creativity of Tyler ISD students through handcrafted bowls, symbolizing the community's united front against hunger. Join us for a profound conversation that's bound to stir more than just your appetite for change; it's a call to action to nourish bodies and spirits alike.
