In this episode of Front Porch Politics, host Tim Boyum travels to Kansas City, Missouri, to take a look at the issues affecting the community post-pandemic.

Tim talks with Marlen Hernandez, director of Hunger Relief, an organization that operates as a grocery store for people facing food insecurity and financial difficulties. It once fed about 300 families a month, but that number has risen sharply to 400 to 500 families a week. Tim also catches up with Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas. He addresses the problems his city faces, issues that many other American cities are grappling with as well.
