United Way for Southeastern Michigan has raised more than $700,000 for its emergency food fund, which gets distributed to 21 food pantries and banks. One Detroit contributor Stephen Henderson of American Black Journal sits down with President and CEO Dr. Darienne Hudson and Pastor Velma Jean Overman, executive director of Operation Refuge, to talk about the growing number of working families in Southeast Michigan who are food insecure due to factors like inflation, federal funding cuts, and the unstable economy.
