Recognition of charitable food distribution in the San Fernando Valley very rarely mentions the kindness of family, friends, and anonymous neighbors who discover a need and quietly rectify the problem, either as a one-time gift or over a period of time until the crisis is resolved.
The long-term needs of those whose income has not yet caught up to food costs rising often requires the organized and effective means of a charitable organization or taxpayer funded agencies. Either way those resources can become a means to encourage the discouraged and a teachable path for youth.
