This session of the radio show shares my conversation with (in order of introduction)
- Donna O’Neill
- Roberta Trahan
- Sally Grant
- Kim DeCrescenzo
- Carol Malachowski
We had our conversation in person in the community room at The Franklin Food Pantry on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
We started with a round of introductions and then 2 questions:
- How did you first get involved with The Pantry
- What keeps you coming back
That was all the group needed. The conversation took off from there. It runs almost 40 minutes. Let’s listen in
