To really know what the people need and how you can really be of the most help, you have to get proximate to them and spend time with them. For most people, it’s just easier to drop off clothes and food at the shelter or pantry.

I agree. I’ve been really poor growing up... outhouse and carry water from the spring... chop wood and fire the cookstove in the kitchen to heat and cook... Washtub on the cookstove for hot water to wash up.... No heat in the house except around the stove... But we were a happy family.
