Here's the good news: at the food pantry where I work, we strive to offer a grocery shopping experience with no stigma. Small children don't even realize they are not in a pantry as their parents walk through aisles and select items themselves. We beat the bushes for donations and buy carefully. Our volunteers are trained to be respectful and treat everyone with dignity. We don't turn anyone away. We offer on-site programs with other organizations and agencies so clients don't have to use up gas and time or reinvent the wheel to get a leg up. Here's the bad news: unemployed and underemployed clients really just want a job. A job. And there aren't near enough. And nothing is on the horizon, either. The last graph and last sentence in "A Ticking Time Bomb: The Arab Spring and America's Lost Generation" is gut wrenching: http://www.newdeal20.org/...
