MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the CEO of Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organization in the U.S., and a regional food bank leader about the growing need for food assistance — and what can be done to help make sure people have enough to eat. Guests: Denis McDonough is the chief executive officer of Feeding America . Until January 2025, he was Secretary of the Department of Veteran Affairs. He served in various roles in the White House during both of President Barack Obama’s terms — and was the White House Chief of Staff for President Obama’s second term. Sarah Moberg is the chief executive officer at Second Harvest Heartland , which is one of the largest food banks in the country. It provides services in central and southwest Minnesota and western Wisconsin.","meta_description":"Minnesotans made more than 9 million visits to food shelves last year — setting a record for the fourth year in a row, according to The Food Group’s 2025…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2820,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mpr-news-with-angela-davis-239489/episodes/how-to-address-rising-food-insecurity/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mpr-news-with-angela-davis-239489/how-to-address-rising-food-insecurity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
