Known for its “Concerts for a Cause” series, the nonprofit Be the Change Youth Initiative is tackling food insecurity in the Chattanooga area.

On Wednesday, it hosts a show at The Meeting House in Red Bank to kick off a new effort for the upcoming school year here in Hamilton County.

I spoke with Sydney Guerrette, founder of Be the Change; her mom, Deirdre Catlett, who is operations director - and Gwyneth Parks is an Ambassador of Change for the nonprofit.
