What It Means to Have ENUF

This episode highlights the growing issue of food insecurity through a conversation about the newly launched nonprofit Every Neighbor United for Food (ENUF), founded by Anthony Panzera. The discussion explores how ENUF is working to address gaps in access to reliable, nutritious food by building stronger, more connected community-based solutions. Anthony shares the vision behind the organization, emphasizing dignity, mutual support, and practical action in the fight against hunger. The episode also underscores how food insecurity often remains hidden, affecting neighbors and families in ways that aren’t always visible. An opening reflection from Bill Mefford of The Festival Center sets the tone, grounding the conversation in the Center’s broader mission of community care and justice. Together, the episode invites listeners to see food access as a shared responsibility and an opportunity for collective impact. This podcast is hosted and produced by Crystal Cheatham, Communications Director of the Festival Center.
