Friend accuses couple of stealing from the homeless because they went to a food bank after making $1900 a month and spending $1400 on rent: 'That’s not including car insurance, gas, utilities, or anything else.'

They literally have no money left for food after paying all of their bills.

Some people have a narrow view of exactly who should receive charity. They hem and haw about who really "deserves it," because it would be the worst thing in the world for someone who isn't truly worthy to get a little bit of help during their time of need. You are either one of those people who don't really care if someone who "doesn't deserve help" gets a little more help than they need, or you are enraged by "undeserving" people "taking advantage" of a system that was meant to be for those who "really need it." 

The belief that some people are more deserving of help than others often prevents those in need of help from seeking it. This applies to many situations, including mental health. Someone might think, "I'm not really that anxious. If I were, it would be worth going to therapy, but my life is not as bad as other people's, so I shouldn't take away the resource that they really need." If you think that way, there's a 100% chance that seeking help for yourself doesn't take away from anyone else. It doesn't take food out of anyone's mouth to feed yourself, especially if you don't have the funds to do so on your own. If you're making $100K a year and getting food from a food bank to cut costs, you're taking advantage of the system. But if you're trying to scrape by on $35K a year and can't afford the light bill and dinner, you can't get lights from a light bank.
