Anyone else finally go to the food bank after seeing everyone else's positive experiences only to be disappointed?
We decided to go to the food bank because we were very desperate and we had heard about how helpful they are. Our closest one is far from us because we live in the middle of nowhere but yesterday we managed to scrape up enough money to be able to make the drive because we thought it would be worth it. I don't mean to sound entitled but it was really disheartening to receive a bag of apples, two cans of green beans and a loaf of stale bread after going out of our way.
I'm not blaming the food bank in any way, they are doing the best they can with the little they have and so many people are in need. Maybe we set our expectations way too high after seeing people's posts about the decent amount of food they received at the food bank and we were really looking forward to it and it was really disappointing going back home with only those few items. Please note that im not in any way discouraging anyone from going to a food bank just because we had an unfortunate experience, I'm just venting out my frustrations about our experience.
