<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas. You guys are doing something great with this.

6
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, it's good to have good news out there.

7
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty easy to find bad news, so spreading good

8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>cheers is a good thing.

9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Because we wanted something in everyone's social media feed to

10
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>be uplifting and inspiring and happy.

11
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, nobody has to go googling bad news.

12
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>So you're right, you're right, You're right. So there's something

13
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>coming up this week that's a healthy food pantry. This

14
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting take. Tell us about it.

15
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, we wanted to do something to talk about amplify

16
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Austin and how more than seven hundred nonprofits benefit from

17
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>this one day of Giving March fifth and sixth and

18
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Austin through I Live Here, I Give here, And this

19
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>was just one example of a great nonprofit foundation communities

20
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>offering up something special to the people that live in

21
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>their communities. There for low income families, veterans, disabled people,

22
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and this is a way they can shop for healthy

23
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>foods which aren't usually available in a lot of the

24
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>low income neighborhoods.

25
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>And Foundation Communities has these affordable housing complexes and apartments

26
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>around the city. And we met in this story the

27
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>rivera family, a mom and two children who were going

28
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 3>to the healthy food pantry to get just the food

29
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>that they need for the week. And she talks about

30
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 3>how much it opens up her eyes about nutritious food

31
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 3>and how kids can really eat nutritious food if you

32
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 3>just give them the chance. So it's a great story

33
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 3>of yes of how this nonprofit, one of them, through

34
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Amplify Austin, is literally feeding the families of Austin.

35
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Tricia can share with them how she tricked our

36
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>daughter into eating spinach for years and years until.

37
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 4>When landry was a tiny landry and she couldn't read.

38
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 4>I bought her spinach pizza like Amy's, you know, the

39
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 4>all natural spinach pizza. But she always told me she

40
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 4>does not like spinach, so I told her it was

41
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 4>broccoli pizza and she ate it for years. And I

42
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 4>do specifically remember the day that I took it out

43
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 4>and she looked at it and she was like that

44
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 4>doesn't say broccoli. I was able to trigger because she

45
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 4>can read the box.

46
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>She's gonna she's gonna bring that up on your deathbed.

47
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that I liked her at a very

48
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 4>young age. I was like, but maybe you like spinach.

49
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 1>She was like, uh, Judy Maggio, Leslie Roadie our guest today.

50
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>You can find them on social media and on YouTube.

51
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>And because I always one of my biggest fears in

52
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>broadcasting is getting a name wrong, and now you got

53
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to get social media handles correct too, So I'm going

54
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to leave it to you guys to tell them where

55
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>they can find you on social media.

56
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, ATX good News now on Facebook, but the rest

57
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>is just ATX good News and of course our website, right, Leslie,

58
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that's something new.

59
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 3>It's it's new. It's up there and you can get

60
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 3>to us through atx good news dot com and you

61
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 3>can also more importantly send us your good news stories

62
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 3>of things that you see happening in your community via

63
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>the website.

64
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 1>One last question on the Healthy Food Pantry. Is this

65
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>new this year? Is this its first year? Has it

66
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>been around and who started it?

67
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's something that they offer throughout their Communities. Poundation

68
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Communities offers these healthy food pantries throughout the city at

69
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>the various communities where people live in Foundation Communities.

70
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>And again, great they are and they're open you said Monday.

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a couple of times a month, thank offerings.

72
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 2>And I think people in the public who don't live

73
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>in the communities can also come and get fresh produce

74
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>and good nutritious food.

75
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>And again that's just one example of a nonprofit taking

76
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 3>part in Amplify Austin March fifth and sixth. Then you

77
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>can give to your favorite nonprofit. I think it starts

78
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 3>at six pm the fifth and it lasts through six

79
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>pm the next day. You'll see that all over social

80
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>media too, here in the Austin area.

81
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, Leslie, Judy, thank you very much.

82
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

83
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to you soon.
