Racism at Food Pantries

“Because it’s a very vulnerable situation to go out and seek help because you don’t have enough food to eat,” Crowell says. “That’s a hard thing to do, and then to be in that situation and somebody is hostile toward you. That can severely damage trust, because you’re in a vulnerable situation, you’re told these people are here to help and then their hostile toward you over something that should not be a basis of being hostile, like speaking another language.”
