520 $a Directors and volunteers became involved in emergency feeding chiefly through friends, religious involvement, or retirement. A sense of civic or religious duty, and the camaraderie among the volunteers were factors which kept them involved.
520 $a This interpretive study was motivated by the belief that emergency feeding programs contribute to the alleviation of hunger in the U.S., and that research to improve their operation and function is valuable. The research examined the experiences of volunteers and directors in emergency feeding programs. The research questions focused on three aspects of the volunteer experience: reasons for becoming and remaining involved; social beliefs about hunger and related issues; and whether and how learning occurred in this setting.
520 $a Open-ended interviews were conducted with 19 volunteer directors from 18 emergency feeding programs (EFP) in New York State. Extended contact with three of these sites was initiated, and participant observation and interviews with 17 volunteers were subsequently conducted.
520 $a Directors' and volunteers' social beliefs reflected values of compassionate caring and rugged individualism. They consistently supported public social welfare programs and EFP, yet expressed concerns about abuse of and recipient dependence on these programs. They felt local communities had a responsibility to assist the hungry, but believed the ultimate solution to hunger was self-sufficiency achieved through education.
520 $a Learning among directors and volunteers in emergency feeding was a social and experiential process. Respondents fit on a continuum of learning, tending to progress with increasing experience and involvement in the EFP. Learning varied from a simple comprehension of hunger as a reality to an understanding of the complex factors contributing to food insecurity.
520 $a Several factors in the EF environment may be modified to enhance the educative potential of volunteering, such as creating opportunities. for interaction, reflection, and the acquisition of alternative information. A survey of EF providers may further characterize beliefs and attitudes of volunteers. A longitudinal study following changes in volunteer thinking over time would further delineate the learning process and possible educational interventions.
