I have eaten donated food a few times in my childhood and teenage years. It was nice when we had nothing at Christmas time, our house had flooded and we had no electricity either, they gave us cooked chickens and stuff. They always gave stuff to make you feel normal like tea bags, sugar etc.. Instead of just what you need to survive.

Some places don't really ask about your income etc.. But other times someone came to our house to check who lived there and look at pay slips etc.. to make sure we really needed help.
