What does hunger really look like in Nebraska? Behind the staggering numbers are real people, many masterfully hiding their struggles while wondering if there will be enough food at home today. Michaela Kumke and Amanda Farr from the Food Bank of Lincoln share how they're fighting hunger through innovation, advocacy, and compassion across Southeast Nebraska, serving neighbors with dignity while addressing the root causes of food insecurity.
The Food Bank of Lincoln serves 16 counties across Southeast Nebraska, delivering more than 10 million meals annually through a powerful network of partnerships. But their work goes far beyond distribution. They're fighting hunger through advocacy, innovation, and a profound commitment to human dignity.
