Why? Government entitlements provide more food than people can eat. You are basically giving them food, so they can spend their money on other things. You are helping no one.

There are community fridges in New Orleans with huge financial backup. Bleeding hearts stuff those fridges sometimes with food better than what a low income person buying food can prepare. And trash empty them immediately, taking all, and some report bullying by those who are taking it all. The bleeding hearts say they give without judgment and have done their part by giving and can’t focus on the bad. Perhaps they are taking it to feed others, they say. I say remove the fridges and let them go to food banks. Thieves and trash ruin good things.

Yup. They tried to throw me off. Replaced broken link with the new link in the OP.

People that visit food pantries do not do it as a permanent way of life…. Whatever their circumstances are, they clearly have a need.
Most don't but some people are outright scammers.
