The Short Score: Season 3, Episode 30 with Pastor Jordan Weaver
Pastor Jordan Weaver joins The Score host Chelsea Shaffer on The Short Score, brought to you by ADM Animal Nutrition, to talk about the dire need food banks are facing, and how team ropers are uniquely positioned to help as 2020 comes to a close.

 this Giving Tuesday, we wanted to bring Pastor Jordan Weaver onto the show to talk about the dire need food banks are facing, and how team ropers are uniquely positioned to help as 2020 comes to a close. You’ve heard Jordan about the 1017 Project on this show before, but now they’ve expanded to Alvarado, Texas, and they’re bringing more meat to those facing food insecurity than ever before. This conversation is so near and dear to our hearts, and the sentiments and perspective Jordan shares are just the hope we needed today. If you only ever listen to one episode of The Score, we hope this is it.
