[quote=Anonymous]They should have worded it more gently. I have used a food bank, and I definitely thought about "okay I'm taking a jar of sauce and pasta - can I afford to buy protein to make this a nutritious meal?" while putting together a bag. One time I was about to take oatmeal but realized my water was turned off for two days and put it back. At the time I went to the food bank, I used EBT, and it depended where I was in that cycle on whether or not I could buy food with the EBT card to supplement the food bank treasures. Sometimes I could, and sometimes I couldn't. (You didn't ask this, but another wrinkle for me was only buying what I could carry home on a long walk, since I couldn't afford to take the bus then.)
