Swapping lunches for bunches of supercharged creativity with Marcella Tarable, Food for Thought

Heidi Fisher Season 4 Episode 2

Marcella Tarable is the co founder of Food for Thought, an initiative which invites people from agencies to donate their skills to help a social enterprise or charity, in exchange for a nice lunch.

Marcella says she wanted to found ways to "redeem her soul" – her background is in advertising – and do something purposeful. But it was hard to find initiatives to support social enterprises which is why she launched Food for Thought.

She describes some of the social enterprises Food for Thought has worked with and just how much can be achieved during their two-hour sprints.
