Associated Charities praised for reform in Washington model
Bluefield notes the rise of the Associated Charities inspired by C. F. Weller in Washington. The effort moved from direct alms to self help through savings, housing, and community involvement, increasing volunteers from 24 to 626 and cutting material relief while expanding services. It cites Roosevelt backing and broad civic support as proof of concept.
