(Empty Bowls Racine also benefits HALO and the Hospitality Center.)

Leaders Who Create Collaboration: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with his brother, Brad Squires, to talk about what it actually takes to bring people together across a community. From launching a local food bank to mobilizing a city through The Big Day of Service, Brad shares the behind-the-scenes realities of collaboration, what was harder than expected, how trust was built between churches, nonprofits, businesses, and civic leaders, and what leaders often misunderstand about getting people aligned around a shared vision. If you've ever wanted to create something bigger than what you could do alone, this conversation offers practical wisdom, honest stories, and a reminder that collaboration doesn't start with strategy — it starts with people. And yes… it also involves good food.

Becky Ruska's path into the nonprofit world didn't follow a traditional trajectory. After spending more than two decades in retail leadership as a district manager for Express, she made a bold decision to step away in her early 40s. What began as a period of rest and reflection quickly evolved into something more meaningful when she started volunteering weekly at the newly formed St. Croix Valley Food Bank in Wisconsin. That volunteer role turned into an opportunity and ultimately a second career rooted in service, community and purpose. Today, Becky plays a central part in connecting volunteers, donors, businesses and community members to the food bank's mission. From managing volunteer programs and community events to growing brand awareness through social media and partnerships, she brings people together around a shared goal: making sure food gets to those who need it most. Since its launch just over four years ago, the St. Croix Valley Food Bank has grown rapidly and now distributes nearly five million pounds of food annually across four counties through more than 55 partner programs. With a new permanent facility on the horizon, the organization is preparing to scale its impact even further, aiming to distribute up to eight million pounds of food in the coming years. Becky believes that fundraising and community building aren't about asking for money—they're about relationships. Whether she's giving a tour to a first-time volunteer, standing at a local festival booth or calling a donor who scribbled “call me if you need a volunteer” on a donation slip, Becky shows how meaningful impact often starts with simply showing up. In this episode of the RKD Group: Chat podcast, Becky reflects on career change, building trust from the ground up and what it takes to create lasting community connections around a growing nonprofit.

In this special "Dayton in Focus" episode of the podcast Dayton City Manager Shelley Dickstein talks with Michelle Riley, CEO of the Foodbank, Inc., and Mike Squire, Division Manager of Community Engagement with the city, about citizens' assembly. A citizens' assembly is a group of citizens that is selected at random in such a way that the composition of this group reflects selected demographic or social features of the whole society. In other words, it constitutes a city or a country in miniature. A role of a citizens' assembly is an in-depth analysis of a given issue, a deliberation over different solutions, hearing of the pros and cons, and then, making informed decisions.

After the holidays St. Mary's Food Bank always needs volunteers after the season of giving. Colton Krolak, KTAR reporter, talks about how half the number of normal volunteers are currently packing boxes and how the community can help. 

Despite record high stock markets, the Harry Chapin Food Bank of SWFL and its partners are busier than ever because of factors like high food, housing, and health insurance costs — along with cuts to federal programs that help people in need including $186 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. The Harry Chapin Food Bank distributed 38.7 million pounds of food last year. And to keep up with the growing need, they have begun construction of a new 110-thousand-square-foot distribution center and warehouse being built in Fort Myers that will be their new Hunger Action Center. We sit down with the food bank's president and CEO to get a sense of what they're experiencing right now, and what the new facility will mean for their operations. We also meet the director of one of their partner agencies.

The organization, which distributes food to more than 300 partners across the state, faced unprecedented demand for its services last year.

My guest this week is Kylea Tink - CEO of Foodbank Australia, former Independent MP, social impact leader, and one of the country's most determined advocates for ending food insecurity. Kylea's work goes far beyond food relief, it shines a light on the structural inequities that push Australians into hunger in the first place. She's best known for her leadership across politics, nonprofits and community mobilisation, and now for steering Foodbank's nationwide mission to ensure every Australian has reliable access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food. Kylea has also been a powerful voice for systemic reform - championing fairer policies, stronger safety nets, and the partnerships required to shift outcomes at scale. In this episode of Humans of Purpose, we explore how Kylea brings strategy, compassion and straight-talking leadership to one of Australia's most urgent social challenges. We discuss the realities of food insecurity today, the bold shifts required to tackle it, and the role business, government and community must play in building a more equitable future. Tune in to hear Kylea Tink's story, and how her work is reshaping the way Australia responds to hunger - not as an inevitability, but as a solvable national priority.

A city's values are revealed not in its slogans, but in its leftovers. Thrown away, food waste is invisible—an inconvenient truth discarded. Redistributed with care, it becomes a mirror, reflecting a society's commitment to dignity, responsibility, and shared life. While food banks globally patch fragile safety nets, places like Shenzhen are reimagining the model entirely, shifting food aid from a stark last resort to a dignified, normalized feature of urban living.
