This month, I interview Dr. Gabe Loiacono, a history professor at UW Oshkosh. He shares knowledge about the history of humanitarian aid in the United States. Students from his course, Charity & Memory from Medieval England to New Deal U.S., volunteer at the pantry every semester as part of their community engagement initiative. He also discusses his recently published book, How Welfare Worked in the Early United States: Five Microhistories.
