Marion Pantry director resigns over open aid policy
Joe Wolfe quits as director of the Marion Pantry at 864 12th St citing disagreement with an open eligibility rule that would allow virtually anyone to receive food. He favors referrals from ministers or social workers to target aid and prevent misuse, while steering committee promotes an open arms approach. The pantry is run by eight churches and supported by volunteers, serving 10 to 12 families weekly.
