S1E23: Engineering Equity in Food Distribution - a podcast by Laura Zielke: Nonprofit Leadership Advocate

September is Hunger Action Month, and today is our second episode focusing on innovative ways small nonprofits are making a big difference for the food insecure.

Jen Nelson is the Senior Vice President of Do Good Auto Coalition—a brand new nonprofit that was started earlier this year (2020) by entrepreneur Diana Lee in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Today we’re looking at the direct connection between local food pantries, the logistical nightmare it can be to transport food from the donor to the pantry, and one woman’s mission to optimize the entire process while ensuring equity in distribution.

On a more personal level, I’m grateful for Jen’s vulnerability in this interview. I was shocked at what someone said to her following her first promotion at the nuclear power plant. She’s put up with a lot over the years, and now that she’s at Do Good Auto Coalition, she’s stretching her beautiful wings and showing us what it’s like to be a “brainiac” nonprofit leader with a passion for equity in food distribution across the entire sector.
