From Judy: “I come from a long line of great cooks who understood that meals are about more than just good food on the table. Every meal is a chance to connect with others in the most essential way. I’m honored to be part of an inspiring organization whose work centers on solving an intricate societal problem and being an innovative change maker for good.”
