Episode Lisa Vaughan Cover

Lisa Vaughan

In this episode of Empty Plates; Full Stories, we speak with Lisa Vaughan, director of Feed Evansville, about how food insecurity affects individuals and families across Southwest Indiana. Vaughan explains that food insecurity often impacts working households facing rising costs and limited access to resources, challenging common assumptions about who is affected. She also traces the organization’s growth from its origins during the COVID-19 pandemic to its current role as a central hub for food distribution and community support. The episode highlights Feed Evansville’s large-scale food distribution efforts, partnerships with local organizations, and initiatives focused on dignity and choice, including community-based grocery options. Vaughan emphasizes that food insecurity is connected to broader issues such as housing, employment, and healthcare, and that addressing it requires coordinated community effort. Listeners are encouraged to understand the issue as a local reality and consider ways to contribute through volunteering, donations, and increased awareness.
