Free food for needy

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Should those who really have a lot go online when there is ‘free food’ being distributed and partake? Surely their conscience pricks them?

News video around Thanksgiving very clearly shocked my eyes - people in fancy cars lined up receiving food packages.

Bodies donating to causes - it annoys me much as I know and the groups doing it also do the donation of goods say as in food products have been ‘donated’ by a food wholesale or retailer, but then the donating group does not recognise the real donor - shame on you if the shoe fits.

Government agencies please stop this practice.

Social Services urgently needs to create a digitised registration system for those who are in ‘real need’ - give them an ID Card and all charities - food kitchens will ask for ID and recognise if that person qualifies or not – this is not uncharitable, but, in my opinion there is massive abuse in the thousands of dollars.

I don’t think we have 50,000 needy - I certainly hope not.
