Behind The Scenes With the State Directors of No Kid Hungry

In this episode of Add Passion and Stir, co‑hosts Billy Shore and Debbie Shore talk with No Kid Hungry state directors Stacie Sanchez‑Hare (Texas), Kathy Saile (California), and Rachel Sabella (New York) about turning policy into real meals for kids. From Texas, which has “the second highest food insecurity rate in the nation,” to California’s universal school meals and New York’s bipartisan approach where “hunger hides in plain sight,” they unpack how relationships, partnerships, and local leadership change what happens in school cafeterias and communities. Along the way, listeners hear why “we need to think differently” about politics and why “childhood hunger is an important issue and it's manageable enough to solve.”​ See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
