Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"In the US, there is a wide-ranging network of at least 370
food
banks
, and more than 60,000 hunger-relief organizations such as
food
pantries
and meal programs. These groups provide billions of meals a year to people in need. And yet
hunger
still affects one in nine Americans. What are we doing wrong? In
Reinventing
Food
Banks
and
Pantries
, Katie Martin argues that if handing out more and more
food
was the answer, we would have solved the problem of
hunger
decades ago. Martin instead presents a
new
model for charitable
food
, one where success is measured not by pounds of
food
distributed but by lives changed. The key is to focus on the root causes of
hunger
. When we shift our attention to strategies that build empathy, equity, and political will, we can implement real solutions. Martin shares those solutions in a warm, engaging style, with simple steps that anyone working or volunteering at a
food
bank or pantry can take today. Some are short-term strategies to create a more dignified experience for
food
pantry clients: providing client choice, where individuals select their own
food
, or redesigning a waiting room with better seating and a designated greeter. Some are longer-term: increasing the supply of healthy
food
, offering job training programs, or connecting clients to other social services. And some are big picture: joining the fight for living wages and a stronger social safety net. These strategies are illustrated through inspiring success stories and backed up by scientific research. Throughout, readers will find a wealth of proven ideas to make their charitable
food
organizations more empathetic and more effective. As Martin writes, it takes more than
food
to
end
hunger
. Picking up this insightful, lively book is a great first step."--Publisher.
