We used to volunteer with a monthly food panty distribution.
Grocery stores and people would donate can and non-perishable goods to the church food pantry where we’d bag them up accordingly. We made an sincere effort to ensure each bag was equally filled. One bag/family/month was the rule.
It got so bad on several ocassions that vicous arguements and outright cat fights would ensue over the distribution.
My wife and I finally just quit volunteering out of fear for our own safety and/or arrest in defending ourselves....it just wasn’t worth it.
The church finally stopped doing a general public food pantry and eventually used some other method to ensure the goods got into the hands of those families that actually needed it.
How terrible
