Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2024, vol. 13, issue 4

Abstract: First paragraph: Charity has not been shown to successfully aid our most vulnerable populations, so we must critically consider how we treat our vulnerable people and how best to assist them. Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries: New Tools to End Hunger by Katie Martin does this by guiding food pantry employees, volunteers, and funders across the United States on how to improve the experience of food assistance for their guests. She has decades of experience working in the charitable food system and has part­nered with food banks and food pantries across the country to improve their impacts. Martin is the executive director of the Foodshare Institute for Hunger Research and Solutions. She provides novel examples from her work to show what reinventing food banks and pantries can look like. . . .
