Exactly. If it needs government funding, it isn't a charity.

Correct.
If this was truly about the work, they would not pay themselves that amount and be CHARITABLE!

Why is a privately run charity organization receiving tax payer funding? The entire point of a food bank is that people willingly donate food so other people in need can use it. I have volunteered at plenty of food banks and have never in my life heard of one going to govt for extra funds. If you are relying on taxpayer funds to maintain your charity/food bank, then you aren’t a charity. You are a govt program
I’m honestly surprised that it’s shocking to see govt supplementing a non profit food bank. Not commenting on this specific story but just that element itself being called out.

my sister ran one of the largest food banks in indiana for years when she retired they even named the building after her, she never sniffed 100k per year.
