#28: How to tackle food poverty with the tools of a modern start-up

Millions of American families depend on food banks, but why until
recently has nobody come up with a better solution? Dion Dawson
realised that something is wrong with food banks when he had to
wait in the rain with his family for hours only to obtain
expiring fruits and some unlabeled can goods. Today he's the
founder of Dion's Chicago Dream, a non-profit that delivers free
healthful, nutritious food to families in need – an approach that
solves multiple problems at once. In our new episode, Dion talks
about the advantages of his programme and explains why some
people need good food, but not recipes. 


Hosted by Ed Crasnick and Jonathan Widder; edited by Thomas
