    Wade Picolo Sales Executive at 4iRGPT It’s not just about hunger, it’s about communities refusing to wait for slow systems to catch up. Local groups are organizing, feeding people, and showing real leadership on the ground.

    The bigger question is, can these efforts grow fast enough to match the scale of the crisis? or are we relying too much on community grit while the system stays broken?
