Food Banks

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. 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.

I’m Dylan. Normal name for a normal kid. I’m from small town North Carolina, a place called Little Switzerland, off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has all these quaint local establishments and looks just like where I live now, with my cousin, in Asheville. I took this job at Pizza Town because there was nowhere else. Kind of crazy how they’ll pay you $12.50 an hour just to be a laborer, with no guarantee of earning enough back to pay for the college that stripped you of all hope. Maybe that’s why I didn’t mind bending over for all those guys. I was at the end of my rope, screwed by ...
