From Lived Experience to Leadership: Introducing MOFC's First Customer Advisory Council

At Mid-Ohio Food Collective, we believe that those closest to the challenges are also closest to the solutions. In this episode of Everyone at the Table, we’re joined by three trailblazers who are helping reshape the future of hunger relief: inaugural Customer Advisory Council (CAC) members Robynne Watson and Rachel Rives, along with CAC Staff Advisor and Nicole DeLozier.

Together, we explore what it truly means to ensure everyone has a seat at the table—especially those who’ve experienced food insecurity firsthand. Robynne and Rachel share their personal journeys, and how their experiences are driving meaningful transformation in the community. Join us as we discuss the impact of customer-led decision-making and how MOFC is building a system that responds to customer needs first and foremost.
