Crisis in the Unhoused Pt.1 with Genevieve Riutort

SLAP the Power

In this two-part series on trying to somehow better understand the unhoused crisis, Maya Sykes and Rick Barrio-Dill discuss the issue with special guest Genevieve Riutort, President and CEO of the West Side Food Bank in Los Angeles. They delve into the mission critical work that the West Side Food Bank does in Los Angeles and how people can get involved to help with the growing crisis. Rick and Maiya convince "Genevieve from the block" to play a silly game with us and they all expose their guilty pleasure food.
And if you want to help in direct ways, UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH, all DONATIONS AT THE WESTSIDE FOOD BANK (https://www.wsfb.org/phantomdinner/)
ARE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR at literally the most CRITICAL time in the food banks history.
And BIG SHOUT out to our show sponsors, the awesome new card game @rollorbounce and https://rollwithitorbounce.com
