Episode 12 features Jane Clements, the CEO of Feeding Pennsylvania. Serving as a statewide voice on hunger issues, Jane spends her time advocating for policies that support hungry families on both the state and federal levels. Under her leadership, Feeding Pennsylvania has launched Fill a Glass with Hope, the nation’s first statewide charitable fresh milk distribution program; the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative, a produce cooperative that distributes 30 million pounds of produce annually to food banks; and the Healthy Pantry Initiative, a partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Health that incentivizes food pantries to increase healthy food and beverages for the people they serve. Jane also serves on the state’s Mass Care Feeding Task Force and oversees a Disaster Response Committee, responding to both in-state and out-of-state disasters.
