re: Are food banks "enablers" of drug addicts??

Here is another--how much should a family sacrifice for an addict in the family? Should they throw them out or feed and house them off the income of the rest of the family?

Every situation is different but if a person has become a drain on a family that is already struggling, sure throw them out. Most shelters require people staying overnight/taking up a bed to be sober, which is a reason so many addicts turn to living on the street. They choose their addiction over a safe bed to sleep in.

I'm just not following what this has to do with food banks being drug addict enablers. Do you want food banks to require a drug screen or turn away hungry people? If someone shows up to a food bank hungry and requiring food, who cares what their story is?
