概要

In this episode of That Transit Show, host Monica Spain sits down with Carla Rankin, Executive Director and CEO of the Arlington Community Food Bank and Vice President of the Snohomish County Food Coalition. Together, they explore the critical intersection of public transportation and community health.


Carla provides an inside look at the current state of food insecurity in Snohomish County, discussing the impact of SNAP benefit changes, the rise of "food deserts" due to grocery store closures, and how Community Transit is helping neighbors reach the nutrition they need.


On this episode:

  • Why food banks are seeing record demand following the end of emergency SNAP benefits.
  • How a lack of transit can prevent families from accessing fresh, healthy food.
  • Where food banks actually get their supply and how staff are pivoting to meet new challenges.
  • Practical ways you can volunteer or support your local food bank today.
