520 _a"There are more than 60,000 hunger-relief organizations such as food pantries and community kitchens in virtually every community in America. Katie Martin thinks they can be run better, providing both a more dignified, healthful experience in the short term and more effective solutions in the long term. Her approach focuses on the needs of clients rather than volunteers. Straightforward changes such as allowing clients to pick their own food rather than handing it to them or varying food options week to week can a make significant difference. So too can connecting clients with supportive programs such as job training and nutrition education. This book is intended for professionals and volunteers involved in charitable food, offering an effective guide to improve their organizations and practices"--
