Passion Meets Purpose with Danny Leckie

Breaking Chains

In this episode of Breaking Chains, I (Christine Jewell) sit down with Daniel Leckie, CEO of Hatch for Hunger, a national nonprofit transforming the hunger relief landscape by providing vital animal protein to food banks across the country. We dive into the mission of Hatch for Hunger, their impact, and how they've become a source of reliable nutrition for millions. Daniel shares his journey from corporate America to leading this impactful organization and the faith and courage it took to step into the unknown to serve others.

We discuss how important it is to not only feed the hungry but provide nutritious food that promotes long-term health. We also explore the logistical challenges of getting surplus food to where it’s needed most and how Hatch is disrupting the norms of food drives by focusing on nutrition security. Daniel highlights the importance of building a legacy of generational change, where access to healthy food helps break cycles of poverty and transforms communities.

Key Takeaways:

• Kingdom Impact & Bold Leadership: How stepping into your calling and making bold decisions can light up your heart and create lasting impact.
• The Power of Nutrition Security: The difference between just feeding people and providing nutritious, protein-rich food that promotes long-term health.
• Disrupting the System: Why Hatch is focusing on bringing fresh, high-quality protein to food banks and why it’s a game changer for families.
• Generational Change: How Hatch is breaking cycles of food insecurity and poverty by providing healthier food options to the most vulnerable.
• Stewardship of Abundance: There's more than enough food; it's about proper distribution and logistics to ensure it reaches those in need.
• Faith and Purpose: Daniel shares how faith led him and his wife to leave behind successful careers for a higher calling to serve others.

Notable Quotes:

• "We believe in creating a legacy of generational change by ensuring access to nutritious food for all."
• "Stepping into bold leadership means trusting God’s timing and provision, even when the next step is unknown."
• "We don’t have a food scarcity issue. We have an abundance of food; it’s about logistics and stewardship."
