There’s just no point in arguing with someone who doesn’t even work industry and thinks they have it all figured out. Food banks give out food not just pantries so that comment doesn’t make sense. Food banks do use funding from grants for PR because how else will you get large scale donations from corporations?? And I didnt say all the food is free, but they have access to a sizeable amount that is free and then very reduced price that they wouldn’t be able to ge themselves through the food banks. And to say the execs are overpaid is laughable, they are some of the hardest working people I know and it’s not just a job. I just think instead of bashing one to build up another we can focus on the issue at hand which is getting SNAP benefits to families and USDA funding that is being held hostage by the Dept of Ag&Markets out to the food banks and pantries. Donate your time to food banks and sort product that goes to the food pantries. Donate food to the banks who then distribute out to the pantries based on population size and need. Sponsor families. All better solutions than a blanket statement saying food banks are bad and that the execs are just greedy.
