Kate Masury, seafood donations

Kate Masury is the Executive Director of Eating with the Ecosystem, a Rhode Island-based non-profit promoting a place-based approach to sustaining New England's wild seafood. I speak with Kate about their seafood donation program, initiated in response to growing food insecurity and loss of fishermen's access to markets in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. She gives an overview of what's being caught in New England, what's being eaten in New England, and how we can better align the two, starting with Rhode Island's Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities.

Alice Howard, seafood for culture & community

Alice Howard is the founder and Executive Director of Sunrise Forever, Inc, a non-profit in Providence, Rhode Island serving the Liberian community. This is part two of our two-part series on a seafood donation program in Rhode Island, created following increased food insecurity and disrupted seafood supply chains in the early weeks and months of the pandemic. Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee communities disproportionately face food insecurity. These communities also prefer whole, fresh fish and value the diversity of species caught in local waters, which don't always make it to local stores. Today, Sunrise Forever Inc. serves over 300 families on a weekly basis.
