Melissa Cherney on responding to the SNAP crisis

jeudi 30 octobre 2025 • Durée 10:15

More than 140,000 Rhode Islanders rely on supplemental nutrition assistance, known as SNAP, from the federal government to buy their food. But, because of the government shutdown, they won't be getting those SNAP benefits in November.

We can't let our neighbors go hungry. So, the Rhode Island Foundation is awarding one million dollars in emergency grants to address this crisis through our Community Partner Resilience Fund.

And we're calling on everyone to help us match that amount to help fill in the gaps.

Melissa Cherney, the CEO of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, joins host David Cicilline to talk about this crisis.

The program helping RI schools throw away less food

jeudi 23 octobre 2025 • Durée 21:09

Rhode Island schools throw away nearly 2,500 tons of food into the landfill every year. And nearly 400 tons of that food is perfectly edible. That's a problem for a lot of reasons. The landfill is running out of space. Rotting food creates methane gas, and that food isn't going to families that struggle to buy groceries.

But the RI Schools Recycling Project has a solution. It goes into schools and trains students to sort their food, instead of throwing it all away. The group is aiming to reach every school in Rhode Island by 2030. Co-directors Jim Corwin and Warren Hammond join host David Cicilline to talk more about their progress.

Joe Garlick and Meghan Rego are trying to change this. They're with NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley, a group working to make housing more affordable in Northern Rhode Island.

They sat down with host David Cicilline to talk about how their organization is addressing the problem at its source.

jeudi 2 octobre 2025 • Durée 22:11

Virtual assistants. Chat GPT. Facial recognition. Artificial intelligence is all around us. And it's creating a lot of anxiety- will it replace our jobs? Make it easier for students to cheat? Use up all of our energy?

But Sam Azar, the founder of Ascend Impact Advisors, says there are opportunities to use AI that are thoughtful and ethical. He talks with host David Cicilline about ways to help non-profits harness the power of these new tools.
