Emergency-Food Charities Look to Modernize
January 26, 2009
Soup kitchens and food pantries, which have worked the same way for decades, are beginning to change the way that they operate to better serve America’s estimated 35 million hungry people, according to The Washington Post.
Changes include making more efforts to provide food to people’s homes and work and limiting costs by making use of existing facilities such as school cafeterias.
“We need to be adapting to future needs, not building the same things but bigger,” says Robert Egger, president of D.C. Central Kitchen, a Washington charity.
