8.4.2012 TOXIC CHARITY

taken from the book of the above title by robert lupton who has had years of experience in working with people in need...

-NEVER do for the poor what they have (or could have) done for themselves.
-limit one way giving to emergency situations
-normal progression:
1-give once and elicit appreciation
2-give twice and you create anticipation
3-give three times and you create expectation
4-give four times and it becomes entitlement
5-give five times and  you establish dependency
-establish a place to buy clothes inexpensively rather than a room of give-aways
-..a food coop over a food pantry..$3 semi-weekly dues on $30 worth of groceries..
