EMPTY PLATES: THE EVOLUTION OF HUNGER RELIEF
Dave Krepcho Pays Tribute to Early Pioneers and Inspires New Strategies
WHAT:
With one in eight neighbors at risk of experiencing hunger on any given day, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida (SHFBCF) has seen a growing need for food assistance in recent years. That’s why leaders are inviting the community to attend a book signing event on Thursday, Aug. 8 for Empty Plates: The Evolution of Hunger Relief.
Written by Dave Krepcho, who spent 34 years as part of the Feeding America network locally and nationally (including 17 as President and CEO at SHFBCF), the book documents the history of hunger relief efforts while inspiring new solutions. It pays tribute to the early pioneers of the food bank movement while also providing valuable insights on how leadership, vision and culture can increase any organization’s impact.
Attendees will be able to purchase a new copy of the book or bring one for Dave to sign. A portion of book sales will go to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
While registration is not required, RSVPs are welcome. To sign up visit, www.FeedHopeNow.org/EmptyPlates.
