Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

    but then those “undesirsbles” can be directed to help.

    You think the reason they are undesirable is because they need help? They WANT to be undesirable. They reject society and choose to make bad decisions. You can’t help people like that.

      The people who utilize food banks are not the addicted population you are most likely imagining. It’s everyday people who have a home, but not enough money left over for adequate sustenance.

      Also, go volunteer at a soup kitchen wherever you live. You’ll see a lot more people who look closer to you than to the people you are describing, I guarantee it.

      There will always be the exception of course, but most people who need and will use food banks are not parading themselves out on the streets flaunting their homelessness.

      That’s a whole lot of assumptions based on… not much, I suppose? Last I checked, most people using food banks are on disability, social security, single parents, or just low-income people.

      You can’t help people if you don’t inform yourself before forming an opinion either.
