I think that this realistic understanding of what we are and aren't doing is required to solve that larger problem of persistent hunger. Obviously handing someone a jar of peanut butter solves an immediate and immediately temporal need. That's the good of it.
I'd even say that an immediate hand is what's needed to lift people out of hunger, the situations are comparable in that regard, even though the required articles aren't.
As far as affording it - here again we should work together. Food banks are usually familiar with their regular donors. You could all pool together, in coordination with your food bank (if it has space and maybe even matching funds, obvs they know what they could and couldn't do, what they're willing to take on and what they aren't or can't). It's a very, very, very helpful way to spend whatever dollars - and the beauty of it is that since it's worth more dollars than a similar value of donated items - it's the best use of dollars particularly if you have few of them.
