In this episode of Tharon’s Take, Tharon sits down with Julie Bryant Kuykendall, Director of Feeding Georgia, for an honest conversation about hunger and food insecurity across the state. Julie shares what it looks like when one in five children face hunger, how families are impacted when SNAP benefits end, and how everyday setbacks — like illness, job loss, or transportation issues — can quickly push people into crisis.
The discussion also highlights the power of community response and how individuals, organizations, and businesses can come together to make a difference. This episode is a reminder that hunger exists in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our communities — and that real change happens when people get involved.
