An emotive subject

The person that you see as “undeserving” more than likely has other issues going on. Yes, they may spend their benefits on booze and fags but if they’ve never had a role model who taught them basic housekeeping (or basic life skills, good parenting etc) then they’ve no idea really.
And who wouldn’t want a drink if your situation is desperate?
What chance have most of them got?
I do accept that some people don’t need the food bank and do take advantage, however, by NOT giving you are perhaps depriving the children or those that really need it.
There are, of course, others desperate to get out of the situation they are in and are mortified to be going to a food bank at all.
Shouldn’t giving to charity be done unconditionally? Not picking and choosing who you personally deem worthy.
If someone is worse off than you, then they deserve our support.
After all, who are we to judge another?
Give generously, give with love, give without conditions.
