The Handbook for Friendly Visitors Among the Poor is a guidebook written by the Charity Organization Society in 1883 to help volunteers effectively and compassionately assist impoverished individuals and families. The book covers topics such as the causes and effects of poverty, the importance of personal hygiene and cleanliness, and how to provide practical assistance such as food, clothing, and shelter. It also emphasizes the importance of building relationships with those in need and treating them with respect and dignity. The handbook provides practical advice on how to conduct home visits, establish trust, and communicate effectively with those who are struggling. Additionally, it includes information on the various social services available to the poor and how to connect them with these resources. Overall, the Handbook for Friendly Visitors Among the Poor serves as an important historical resource for understanding the attitudes and approaches towards poverty and philanthropy in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
