My local food bank can only provide 8 packages with referrals every time before you run out, and I have, but my situation hasn’t improved financially due to various set backs and I’m struggling to feed myself.

    the wealthier areas may very well have unlocked/unguarded dumpsters

    The fuck kind of world do we live in where we need to guard dumpsters?

    If it was a tech company that absolutely needed to ensure data was destroyed and absolutely couldn’t take a risk even with regular office trash, sure. Spend the cash to guard the dumpster.
