    It’s great to see all the different projects and places to go for help in Flagler County. Really. I am impressed. That being said, I have a real issue with the word “needy.” Dogs are needy, not people. That’s why I’m a cat person. The only people getting satisfaction from the word “needy” are those who feel above it. To others, it’s a put down. In the dressing room of my favorite Catholic thrift store, there is a sign that states “It’s not nice to steal from the needy.” Oh my gosh! For starters, the clothes and items are donated. Maybe, just maybe, a person who takes something may be the person who could use it!

    Go ahead, help others out. That’s a good thing. Just don’t be so superior to call others “needy.”

      Can you suggest a better term?

        Pat: Why not just provide services? Calling others “needy” is a superiority affliction. It’s self serving.

          “Needy” is a problematic term, as were several other terms considered. But there’s also no escaping the need for some precision, and those services are there for those who need them, in a way that many services—-neither essential nor targeted at specific needs—-are not. We will keep searching for better terms.

      I agree. These services can benefit any citizen. This is an outreach event to introduce all citizens to a wide array of services in the county. At any moment, any person can be in a situation wondering, “Where can I get some help with this situation?”

      Needy implies a perpetual state. That’s not always the case, and in most cases, it isn’t.

      Not a fan of that phrase either.

      I’m told he was out of state and had planned for the food truck to arrive, but there was a scheduling snafu. He didn’t bail, but it was an unfortunate mix-up. That said, the people who came with their services very much enjoyed the one-on-one interactions with the man citizens of Flagler County.

      These things aren’t just for the so-called “needy.” I hope anyone would go to these things to learn about the services in Flagler County, to ask questins and just be familiar with what’s out there in case of emergency or challenging situation–whether for themselves or someone they know and love.

    Why must we have a “term,” especially one that strips away dignity? Would you introduce Joe as needy Joe? Yes, of course services are an important necessity, but look at it this way: Ghandi served his peers. Jesus washed the feet of those considered lesser by others. To call a group “needy” separates us from them, and they know it. Just provide the services, and those who would use it will come. They don’t require adjectives.
