    Are you saying none of the money a grocery store collects ultimately goes toward feeding the hungry? I want to stress here that anything more than nothing is food in hungry mouths here.

      Ok.

      You’re fixating on a better than nothing aporoach- but it’s not an either/or.

      You can tell corporations to shove their tax dodges up their arses while still donating elsewhere.

      Also, i get you have a personal connection to hunger, does it reframe if i point out a lot of donation demands i see in supermarkets aren’t actually to feed or shelter the unhoused?

        The problem is I don’t believe it. That’s called fraud and so far as I know, in Canada, that isn’t something you can just do. They have to give to the food bank.

          Please read my comment again. They pick the “charity” not you. RFDS is one i see quite often, alongside the heart foundation. These are not food banks.
