I think we need to educate foreigners that food banks are not government programs. These aren't free meals. They're meant to keep people from starving to death and are donations of kindness.

I caught someone I supervise using a food bank (I know how much he makes and he just bought a second car a week prior) I asked him privately if everything was okay and if he needed any support from the company. No word of a lie he told me "I pay my taxes so I'm entitled".

I did some digging and that seems to be a common misconception.
