About the episode

What started with one Drexel student donating 50 unused meal swipes has blossomed into a national movement. Philly-based Sharing Excess now rescues over 2 million pounds of surplus food each week, fighting food waste and hunger simultaneously. Founder Evan Ellers believes we don't have a food shortage, but an access problem—and his team is fixing it. Learn more about their incredible work and how every $1 you donate provides 10 meals for those in need. The Prince Hall Masons are the oldest African American fraternity in the United States, with a history dating back to 1784. Today, they continue this legacy of strengthening the community through public events like food giveaways and festivals, preserving their rich history while welcoming a new generation.
