BusinessTalk with Jillian Morgan, Director of Development, Food Bank of Western Massachusetts

Every single month, through its roughly 200 partners, the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts helps about 125,000 people in the 413 access more than 1 million meals. Among the roles of Director of Development Jillian Morgan and her team are to execute fundraising activities, boost engagement through volunteering, and develop strategies to raise awareness about this nonprofit’s critical mission — one that has been challenged this year by everything from federal funding cuts to the recent SNAP disruption. For this episode of BusinessTalk, Jillian sits down with BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar to talk about all of that, plus the 16th annual March for the Food Bank, which engages a sea of participants in a four-county effort to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s must listening — and certainly food for thought — so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
