It's not strictly a food bank, it's a local church community project, they get donated out of date food and run a free cafe, and every few weeks they run a free drop in where you can basically pick up what you like.
It is advertised as for everybody, tbf, but their website is very clear that its aim is to tackle food poverty.
My sister has been three times and keeps sharing the link and gushing about all the free food she's been getting.
I am really, really uncomfortable with this. They have three holidays a year, drive a new car, both have good jobs. They are not in any way in poverty. She is very tight and loves a bargain (nothing wrong with that) and is chuffed to bits to be getting a crate of free food every few weeks.
It makes me feel a bit sick though. I can't say anything in real life as I'll look like a bitch and probably be accused of being jealous
Aibu? This just strikes me as all kinds of wrong but I'm prepared to be told otherwise.
