No, everyone has to eat. If being homeless isn't enough of a deterrent for someone to get help for a drug addiction, you think limiting access to a food bank will?

The only way an addict will get sober is if they want to, pretty much every addict will need some help from others a long the way to get sober.

I have traditionally contributed to my local food bank but if feeding these drug addicts is keeping them from taking care to themselves on their own am I doing the right thing?

You aren't going to continue to help hungry people because some of them may have drug problems? How sheltered are you?
