Summary
Here’s a feel good conversation for you! Meet Ben Collier, a recent graduate and co-founder of The Farmlink Project. At the start of the pandemic, Ben and his brother learned that ONE THIRD of ALL food goes to waste… while MILLIONS of people go hungry. They saw a need and opportunity to change that by rescuing fresh produce that would otherwise go to landfills, and delivering this food to food banks all around the country.
The Farmlink Project has since delivered more than 50 million pounds of food to those in need! And this is just the beginning…
Farmlink’s ultimate goal is to create a sustainable food system where 35 million+ Americans don't need to go to a food bank to feed themselves and their families; creating a world where everyone has access to healthy food they need.

| 0:00.0 | A lot of people I know think you're getting food to a food bank on paper. That's a good thing. |
| 0:04.6 | And that is a good thing. It's very necessary. There are 35 million people who need to go to a |
| 0:08.9 | food bank to feed themselves and their families. But then we need to ask ourselves, should 35 million |
| 0:13.5 | people need to go to a food bank to feed themselves in their families? And the answer is |
| 0:19.2 | resoundingly no. Hello. Welcome to at home. This is a place |
| 0:24.7 | where we explore all the nooks and crannies of what makes us feel at home. The good, the meh, |

| 0:38.6 | It's the process. Well, there will be heated debates. Yeah, because Drew has very strong opinions |
| 0:44.0 | about everything, like leaving the toilet lit up. Well, hey, we'll just bring in experts to help |
| 0:49.3 | us solve those. What about you, though, leaving hair dolls in the shower? Ew. Those are gifts. |
| 0:55.1 | Yeah, that no one wants. |
| 0:57.2 | This is all a part of our life at home. |
