“How do these organisations ensure that the people getting the food are the ones who actually need it?”

There is no way to be certain that only those in desperate need are given food, but there is a social stigma attached to going to such places and that keeps many people away.

I can’t imagine having to feed a family. This organisation, salvation army, meals on wheels, and various community groups play a vital role in keeping people fed – thank you! May I ask a general question? How do these organisations ensure that the people getting the food are the ones who actually need it? vs people who are not prioritising their needs vs wants? There are people who really really need the help and other people who seem to think pretty nails and fancy sneakers are more important that taking responsibility for the basic family fundamentals.
