Community alliances Volunteering When community services and organizations recognize and work together on problems, solutions are often found.

Food pantries help people to supplement their incomes or food stamps. Would encourage food pantries to limit the amount each person/family takes/receive as I have been to one where some people leave with boxes piled high and there is little left for others. Food Pantries help tremendously however the food offerings are more often than not very healthy options. In many cases very poor choices for individuals that are Diabetic, overweight among other conditions. Food donation is that one selfless thing we can all do to help those seeking it. For many years I have been volunteering in our community. Maybe the past year even more so than in the past. It would be very beneficial if groups and successful businesspeople spent a few hours each month looking into and lending ideas or searching where their talent could be used, even if it is just a very small gesture. One small gesture goes a long way in a youth's eyes. When community agencies/programs/service providers are in alliance, this allows the opportunity to provide services to the shared individuals/families in a better way, more streamlined. Not wasting time and resources potentially 'chasing your tail'. It takes a community as we have learned in recent years. Not enough I think if the community were given an opportunity for volunteers more often there would be less crime There is a lot of caring people who volunteer I have no clue regarding your question Works. Tell us why you selected what you did above11 Not every family has the same needs. A pantry allows them to get what they need when they need it. These are helpful.
