PITSBURGH (Newsradio KDKA) - Born & raised in Western Pennsylvania, she felt a calling to serve. However, after studying in Chicago and Boston she was beginning a career in law and the family practice. A quest for something else led her to help the hungry. Her decisions and passions were honored as she was recently named ‘Pittsburgher of the Year.’ However her dream job was unavailable to her!
She is responsible for healthy food options for hundreds of thousands while transforming a system of getting those options to the most needy and hungry in our region. We had a lovely, warm conversation about her life, her goals, and career moves. Plus, her passion for food. I hope you enjoy ‘Kevin Battle Goes One-on-One With: Lisa Scales of Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.’
