Covid-19 has created a surge in food needs. Jim Floros, executive director of the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, joins us to talk about how this independent nonprofit is coping with longer lines and people's rising concern about a lack of food. He talks pivots, an entrepreneurial spirit, a business-like approach, investment, collaboration, community, gratitude, and the need for money. An uplifting episode.
