Feed My Sheep guests and volunteers alike say that in addition to policy changes and rising hunger, the community must face the effects of harmful stereotypes. Diana Doroubi, a church employee who does custodial work for the kitchen, says the people who come through their doors often encounter misconceptions spread by "people inciting fear, talking about things they have no idea about." She feels that the unhoused population in Carbondale is misrepresented, likely due to a lack of understanding which causes people to jump to conclusions. Whether at Sunday Service or a weekday meal, Bethel aims to combat this type of thinking. A message board in front of the building proudly reads "Choose love over judgement."
