Abstract:
The article describes the operations of various systems of soup kitchens that were set up in Gorizia and Gradisca during the period of Austria-Hungary. They constituted a crucial form of provincial social aid to the poor, with which charity organizations or individuals alleviated the hardships facing the vulnerable social strata in both urban and rural areas. Drawing from various sources, the article presents four examples from the city of Gorizia and the Friulian part of the County. Operating in the provincial capital were the general soup kitchen, run by the local women’s charity association

AbstractNutrition is a daily challenge for the homeless population in America. Homeless individuals suffer from a high prevalence of diseases related to poor diet, yet there has been little public health effort to improve nutrition in this population. Shelters and soup kitchens may have an untapped potential to impact food access, choice and quality. We offer ideas for intervention and lessons learned from ten shelters and soup kitchens around Greater Boston, MA, USA. By advancing food quality, education and policies in shelters and soup kitchens, the homeless population can be given an opport

Abstract:
This project involved an ethnographic study that documented how homeless individuals who frequent local soup kitchens view themselves and how they manage the stigma that can be associated with this population. Qualitative techniques of observation and brief conversations over a 3-year period with more than 100 soup kitchen participants constituted the data. Findings of this project confirm the earlier work of Goffman and more recent work where clear stigma responses and identities were observed in homeless and low-income adults.

Abstract:
Soup kitchens throughout the United States serve a daily meal to the hungry and homeless in a "no questions asked" atmosphere. In More Than Bread: Ethnography of a Soup Kitchen (University of Alabama Press, 1988), I presented five years of field research conducted in the Tabernacle Soup Kitchen (a pseudonym) in a former mill town in Connecticut. This article presents some program and policy implications based on my observations of daily life and culture in this dining room where one hundred or more people gather for coffee, doughnuts, and a hot noontime meal. My primary research method was par

Abstract:
Summary The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the meanings Israeli women who frequent soup assign to this experience. The study is based on participant observation and 16 recorded interviews with women in eight soup kitchens in Israel. The study adopts a gender-mainstreaming approach to food security that privileges the life knowledge of women living in poverty. The grounded theory method was employed in the collection and analysis of the data-field notes and interviews. Findings Four main categories regarding women’s constructions of motivations for frequenting soup kitchens emerged

Abstract:
Many teachers understand the importance of discussing diversity and celebrating cultural heritage. One way that these two goals can be accomplished is by looking at the lives of others through multicultural literature. Teachers often use such literature in language arts and social studies but may be unsure how to use it in mathematics.
