Well said!! We also have (as you may) food banks in the UK for people who are going through a difficult time, but  that is more for non perishable food, as well as food close to "use by".  Mind you, when an elderly relative died recently, leaving umpteen tins, I had a job to track down the local food bank to donate them to! Mentioning this to a friend she said that her local church had a permanent `supermarket trolley at the back for ongoing  food donations.  A brilliant idea !!
