The Future 50 are off and running on projects to advance the community.
Columbus CEO
The 2021 class of Future 50 has convened, and what a class it is. The annual Columbus CEO program bringing together 50 of the region’s most vibrant thinkers and doers held pitch sessions in February for their annual projects, and the class selected three fantastic ideas.
The first project comes from Anna Sanyal and Bridget Tharp, neighbors in Weinland Park who both happen to be committed to fighting hunger. Tharp’s day job is with the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, while Sanyal is an attorney with Vorys.
It’s been a tough 12 months of pandemic life for so many Ohio families who’ve lost jobs, struggled to collect unemployment and seen their income slashed. New families who have never before needed food assistance represented more than 30 percent of those served by the Mid-Ohio Food Collective during 2020 usually it’s 5 percent, Tharp says.
