Jack Church talks with Michael Ledger, President and CEO for Feeding the Gulf Coast Food Bank based outside Mobile, Alabama. Ledger said the food bank serves a 22 county area that includes parts of the Alabama, Mississippi and Florida gulf coasts. Ledger said the need for food continues to grow as inflation impacts more people including working families and seniors. In addition to paid staff, Ledger says volunteers contribute thousands of hours every year to help keep up with the growing demand.
