Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Ladies and gentlemen, as promised, we keep yaking and yacking about food for the poor. You'd like to know, hey, hey, who runs that organization? Well, we tracked him down. He wasn't easy to find, but his name is Ed Raines, and he's right here. Ed, welcome the program. Thanks so much, Eric. Great to be on your show. Of course, I'm lying. You were very easy to find. In fact fact it was you who found me but i want to ask

you at how long have you been ahead of food for the pork because you're a fairly recent uh addition

to this longstanding organization yeah so i've been here almost four years but uh as president

CEO since the beginning of 2020.

So where are you from originally, Ed?

Well, I started off life growing up in London and came to college in the U.S. and never left.

You've got a little bit of that English accent there.

Well, look, my audience already knows about food for the poor,

but for those who don't, who might be tuning in right now,

I have to say there are almost no organizations that we work with the way we do with you guys.

CSI is the only one that's popping into my mind.

People that we have vetted, not just we, theem taxes show but the entire salem radio network from mike galliger uh to the next mayor of

california uh larry elder to hughett to to um my my dear friend, Dennis Prager, we believe in the work you're

doing at Food for the Poor and the way that you do it, feeding the poorest of the poor

in the world, Haiti, other places. So we really believe in you and periodically we partner with you. We're doing that

with you this month, obviously. And so I want to say before we even get into the conversation,

folks, you go to my website. It's the radio website, metaxis talk.com. You'll see the banner. All the

exciting details are there. Ericmetaxis.com is my website.

Metaxistalkis talk.com is the radio website since we talk on the radio.

And if you want to call the numbers, 844-863 Hope, 844-863 Hope.

So Ed Rain, tell us, what are we looking at right now?
