Kate Roberts, a member of the Senior and Retired Volunteer Program in Cottonwood County, talks with Peter Shea (for the Bat of Minerva) about her struggles with getting food to the hungry in a county where many people live below the poverty line. She discusses SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Program), the push to educate people on healthy food, the potential of community gardens, various forms of poverty, issues with distribution, and the most satisfying aspect of her work.
