Hunger doesn't always look the way you think it does. Sometimes, it's your neighbor, your coworker, or the family sitting next to you at your child's school event. Behind every empty pantry is a story, and behind every helping hand is a community that cares. In our latest episode of Three Trees in a Pod, we're shining a light on food insecurity right here in Northern Michigan and the incredible people working to make sure no one in our communities goes hungry. We're joined by two special guests: Catherine Somes from K.A.I.R. Kalkaska and Pastor Colleen Wierman of Kingsley United Methodist Church. Together, we're talking about the growing need for local food pantries, the challenges families are facing, and how even the smallest acts of kindness can make a life-changing difference. Because no one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from.
