125 [S2E28]: Julio Alonso and Jake Bruner of the Hoosier Hills Food Bank
On today's show, we're talk to the biggest distributor of usable food in South Central Indiana, the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. They move more than 5 million pounds of food, half from places that can no longer use or sell it, to people in need. Julio Alonso, the Food Bank's executive director, and Jake Bruner, the associate director, talk about how they support local food pantries in six counties, the impact the pandemic had on them, and some of the ways they raise funds. We'll also talk about two of the biggest fundraising events they throw: the annual Soup Bowl Benefit in February and their big event coming up, their annual Book Fair at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.
