Description
Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries: New Tools to End Hunger In the US, a network of over 370 food banks and more than 60,000 hunger-relief organisations provide billions of meals a year to those in need. Yet, hunger still affects one in nine Americans. Katie Martin argues that simply handing out more food is not the answer, and instead presents a new model for charitable food that focuses on building empathy, equity, and political will to create real solutions. Martin shares practical strategies to improve the experience of food pantry clients, from short-term initiatives like providing client choice and redesigning waiting rooms, to longer-term solutions like increasing the supply of healthy food and offering job training programs. These ideas are backed up by scientific research and illustrated through inspiring success stories. By shifting the focus from just providing food to addressing the root causes of hunger, Martin offers a hopeful and actionable approach to ending hunger. This insightful book provides a wealth of proven ideas to make charitable food organisations more effective and empathetic.
