Co-host Helen Forster lends her voice to both the spoken and musical portions of the show.

Liane Moody and the many facets of STEAC, on Imagining Yolo Davis, Nov. 17, 2023

Fri, 11/17/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

LOGO IMAGINING YD.jpg

Today we sit down with Liane Moody, the executive director of the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, who explains the three areas -- rent, food and bills -- where this Davis nonprofit helps our neighbors who need short-term assistance. This wonderful organization could not function without its many volunteers.

For example, here's more about its Food Project, whose mission is to help STEAC's food pantry "have a steady, reliable source of non-perishable food year-round by collecting food from community members every other month. While food drives are an invaluable and critical source of food, they provide only about 30 to 40% of our needs, and we often run short between these events."
