For a number of years I’ve been involved with my local choice food pantry. Currently I serve on the executive board and I am a representative on our community efforts toward coordinated customer-focused services to those in our area who are in need. A number of communities throughout the country use such a model with great success. The push-and-pull amongst the various agencies, needs, perceptions of customers/clients and personalities makes for a dynamic and fluid process. It will be interesting to continue to watch it develop.
Are similar customer-focused, co-located or shared social service/social justice models happening in your community?
This is a wonderful book. It is very well wtrtien and it was hard to put down.With all we have learned about what happened to the Jews in Germany, it is hard to understand how we could still allow crimes like this to continue to occur. I hope that Rena’s story will help prevent further atrocities like Sudan, Bosnia or Rowanda from occuring
