Promotion of client choice in the food pantry system IEFRN led the push for TEFAP to require that all participating pantries must offer client choice

17 United States history of emergency food distribution in food pantries Food bank and many emergency food providers developed What food should be given? President Lyndon Johnson launched War on Poverty. Pre-determined food boxes: expected to last a family for three days Mid 1970s brought improvements to US poverty, but from 1978 to 1982, hunger and poverty increased. Discussion about distribution frequency: once per month, due to government distribution of food assistance resources Client Choice Pantries: Why you don t and why you should!, Food Bank of the Rockies, 2009 Member Agency Conference, John Arnold

18 Client Choice Benefits Can enhance dignity in an already difficult situation Tailored to the food prep and equipment of the client household Reduces waste and accommodates the client s dietary or cultural needs Allows clients to use the nutrition and budgeting knowledge they have gained by making choices. ANY kind of choice is better than no choice Purdue University, Indiana s Emergency Food Resource Network, Client Choice Manual. John Arnold, Charity Food Programs that can End Hunger in America, 2004.

19 IEFRN promotes client choice To help accomplish our mission of promoting food security, we encourage all pantries in Indiana to use client choice and we provide resources and education on our website as a guide.

20 The more variety you offer your pantry s clients, the more you increase the chances of meeting their needs, and the more you and your pantry can become miracle workers. --John Arnold in Charity Food Programs that can End Hunger in America
