Ofc, and something is better than nothing. This is a big issue for the wife and I.
So far as the food lion example, though, it’s typical of a popular grocery scam. They’re offloading excess inventory and donating a portion under markup. We tell people to buy the food themselves...because they can get it cheaper, and then donate directly.
Or, even better, don’t but anything at all, and donate to an organization with a better ratio.
While the iron is hot, a really oblique but highly effective way to help get food to the destitute, is to help food banks purchase or construct cold storage.
Perishables are a huge and healthy chunk of the potential offload that most charities just aren’t equipped to handle.
