Jenny Waltman, a visionary leader and the driving force behind Grace Klein Construction and Grace Klein Community, shares her extraordinary story with us. In this episode, you'll discover how a simple prayer in 2006 led Jenny to build a construction company with a mission that transcends brick and mortar. Faced with the economic challenges of 2008, her unwavering faith and determination paved the way for Grace Klein Community's inception in 2010. What began as a humble food delivery service for 58 families has now expanded to nourish nearly 20,000 people in Birmingham, Alabama every week. Through Jenny's insights, we challenge common misconceptions about poverty and highlight the vital role of providing healthy food to empower individuals towards financial independence.

Join us as we explore the transformative power of community service, ignited by Jenny's pivotal experience at a child's birthday party in an impoverished area. Our conversation sheds light on the broader mission of Grace Klein Community, educating on resourcefulness and stewardship while uniting people from all walks of life. Learn about their innovative food rescue initiative, which cleverly tackles food waste and insecurity, demonstrating how unrelated issues can be woven into holistic solutions. Jenny's journey serves as a modern-day parable of faith and community, reflecting the miraculous nature of giving and receiving sustenance, much like the biblical manna. Don't miss this inspiring narrative of building a strong community through unwavering service and compassion.
