SVDP 34│Author and Keynote Speaker Katie Martin on her vision to end hunger in America

February 11, 2025 • St. Vincent de Paul Louisville • Episode 34

As a leading voice in food insecurity, Katie Martin wants to reinvent the way we help people who need help with food. And the answer isn't simply handing out more food.

In this episode, Katie challenges the traditional food pantry model to one that goes beyond charity—toward lasting solutions for ending hunger. She invites us into the connection between hunger and health.
