Living in a small community means individuals often know the volunteers distributing assistance personally, creating a barrier of vulnerability and reluctance to ask for help. Lori Dijkstra shares personal reflections from growing up receiving assistance, illustrating the lingering shame associated with visible poverty markers like colored cards. This background informs her leadership approach at Feeding South Dakota, where she aims to remove judgment and ensure community members feel respected. Jerry Brasson adds perspective by noting that local gossip and town reputation heavily influence a person’s willingness to seek support, making compassionate local outreach essential for bridging the gap between need and provision.
