Team Food Chain began in as my son’s Bar Mitzvah project.   A concern that people weren’t eating dinner together grew into an award winning 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting efforts to better nourish Kentucky.  By keeping “team” as the operative word, we saw an opportunity to be a “for-purpose” rainmaker.  

We never offered any programming.  That wasn’t what was needed.  There were plenty of good programs already in place, what they needed was funding.  Our work made a significant impact in the hunger relief landscape of both our city and state.

Which was great, but only the beginning of my work with the word “team.” As things unfolded I learned the word held enormous significance in my understanding of chosen family. I write about this growth and the lessons Team Food Chain taught me in my book.
