“Meeting Dave Krepcho a few years ago during a visit to Orlando’s Second Harvest Food Bank, I was immediately impressed with his leadership and dedication to feeding the hungry. As I came to know him better, I was enraptured by his innovative approach to the challenges of hunger relief and his storytelling ability. This is a seminal work on the national food bank story, and it’s something all Americans should read…as it will help us all to contribute.”

“As a pastor in Central Florida, I watched Dave Krepcho’s remarkable leadership bring a good part of our state together to serve those with empty plates.  Food is about more than physical nutrition; it is about people’s stories – both those in need and those who want to help.  This book not only educates and fascinates us, it expands our understanding, our hearts, and our desire for partnership.” 

“Empty Plates by Dave Krepcho pays attention to the periphery of Food Banking as only he can. He has spent 34 years of his life understanding Food Banking through authentic empathy, genuine compassion, and creative leadership.”
