VoWW Interview #13: Melissa Hager
"Voices of West Windsor" is a joint project between the Historical Society and SR Mosaic to fill in the gaps in our records of our town's history. We interview contemporary inhabitants of groups not typically found in our archives so that future residents can get a perspective decades later - much like how our perspectives of old West Windsor were obtained through interviews of longtime residents in the past.
Although West Windsor is affluent, that doesn't mean that food insecurity doesn't exist in our town. Melissa Hager is an organizer of Send Hunger Packing and the Little Free Pantry. The former is an effort to help support meals for underpriveleged schoolchildren in West Windsor-Plainsboro; the latter is a physical micro-food pantry set up for the hungry in our town. This Week, Voices of West Windsor interviews her about these efforts and their heightened necessity during a period of social and economic insecurity.
