Food Banking

So you once helped lead one of the world's most powerful lobbying groups... the trade association for America's insurance industry.

But now your days are devoted to feeding the poor.

How does the world look different to you?

Guest:Lawrence M. Zippin- CEO, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
