On this episode of KNCO’s local radio program Insight: Nevada County Action, host Tom Fitzsimmons welcomes Victoria Lindsay of Interfaith Food Ministry for an important conversation about food insecurity in Grass Valley and Nevada County. They examine how CalFresh and SNAP benefit changes, rising grocery costs and reduced charitable giving are affecting local seniors, families and children—and why no one should feel ashamed to seek assistance. Lindsay discusses Interfaith Food Ministry’s partnership with the Food Bank of Nevada County and other local nonprofits following Community Involvement Day at the Nevada County Fairgrounds. The episode also highlights September’s Hunger Action Month, the Twin Cities Church drive-through food drive, Peace Lutheran Church’s recycling program, school pantry support, Halloween costumes and volunteer opportunities. Learn how donations of peanut butter, canned protein, cereal, reusable grocery bags, egg cartons and monthly financial gifts help IFM provide supplemental groceries throughout Western Nevada County.
