It says to avoid things that need can openers. This is asking too much. The pop-top lids on canned items are less sturdy that regular cans.
The people who are struggling are the elderly and working poor. Many times they are just over the limit to receive any help. I volunteered at food pantries in 2 Wisconsin counties. Most probably did not need it.
“The pop-top lids on canned items are less sturdy that regular cans.”
Agreed. Those should be the LAST type of cans going into anyone’s emergency stash.
It would be OK for a Food Pantry - that food will probably be used up with in the week, wouldn’t you think?
