Somewhat difficult to read. E-text prepared by Al Haines "Friendly Visiting among the Poor: A Handbook for Charity Workers" by Mary E. Richmond is a practical guidebook written in the late 19th century. The work addresses the nuances of charity work, particularly focusing on how to engage with and support impoverished families through thoughtful and sustained relationships rather than superficial assistance. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the diverse realities of the poor and the needs of families as whole units, rather than merely addressing individual members in isolation. The beginning of the handbook outlines Richmond's intention to provide foundational guidance for individuals involved in charitable work. She distinguishes between "friendly visiting" and less meaningful forms of charity, focusing on the critical role of the "friendly visitor" in forming genuine connections with the families they aim to help. Richmond also sets the stage for a discussion on various challenges and best practices in addressing poverty, all while recognizing the importance of character and the role of community relations in effecting positive change.
