To be honest, I'm not sure Olsen would be willing to do something like this. Kincaid might, though...

Not when he is healing from a bum knee.. I think ever since he moved to CTV, his reporting day is mostly over. Quote:

I'll support a Facebook group as well, this is absolutely unacceptable abuse of a system intended to help the less fortunate.

I remember seeing a show where the reporter camped by a clothing bank drop off catching assholes taking clothes and other things like furniture.
I see homeless people doing that at the Salvation Army and Value Village which is what it is...but when the unneedy go and do that, someone else should camp by the clothing banks...and fire paintballs at them

I always thought food bank was to help POOR/Homeless people. Not for people not wanting to pay for their own food.

What the FUCK?
I help run BCMazda3. Since our club's inception, our annual December event has been a food drive to support the Richmond Food bank. We have braved snow, rain and fucking freezing weather to support this organization and their annual call for help.
But I swear to god, if I find out that my members have pumped money and effort into supporting an organization that is supporting people who are better off than us, I WILL FUCKING LOSE IT.
6 to 7pm? I'm supposed to be doing OT at work, but I'm going to lie or pretend I broke my leg so I can stand outside the food bank parking lot with my DSLR in hand.    
"We rely upon our community's support to provide service to families that are struggling to pay the car note or fuel in their luxury SUV's."
SERIOUSLY?
Kev

Both.
1. The food bank should have some sort of a system in place to ensure that they are providing their services to families that are ACTUALLY in need.
2. The people who are mis-using the food bank should have some fucking morals. They are not only taking advantage of the people who are donating their time and effort for a good cause, but also taking advantage of the people who are actually in need and could use the hand-out.

I's freaking BULLSHIT
Give you guys another example, Did you know that if your family makes under 20k a year, your entitled to a free membership to any Recreation center owned by the city (icerinks, swimming pools, fitness centers). All these asian families that have immigrated here recently and have no jobs drivng BMW's get free passes every year. They are NOT poor, they just dont have incomes. Theirs a difference.
PS I use to work at one of these Rec Centers, and have watched these people abuse it.

Kev | you all should be more focused on number 2. im sure the food bank doesnt setup shop to feed people that just simply dont want to pay for it. they probably just cant afford to setup a system to recognize the people that actually need it

I agree with you 100% in the sense that the food bank's motives are in the right place. But if they don't have a reasonable system to sift the real from the fake, then perhaps the organization shouldn't be in business at all. Harsh, I know, but a not-for-profit organization will only continue to exist if the people who donate have confidence that the organization is able to allocate the donations correctly.

The question is how? Short of asking the family to bring in their last year's tax return, it is impossible to check. (even that doesn't reflect the true story AND open a can of worms).
Basically what is going to happen if the story breaks is donation will drop and the food banks association will complain to the media.
I am sure the food banks board know a percentage of users as freeloaders.
To counter the Chinese "face" factor? the food bank should should put everyone's picture who visits the facility on the web for a year, and how much they take.. Just like google: you give up your privacy when you use their service.. Can't handle that? don't use the facility.
One can spin it nicely and say it is for promotional purpose only, Richmond Food Bank supported these people last year! then big thumbs up. To Cman Make sure you take the video from your side / public property.. remember to show them loading their loot into their nice cars. Quote:

Seriously..don't these people have any morals? They're taking food from families that barely have ANY food on the table..I'm fucking choked since I know of a few people that are working two-jobs and barely making enough to put food on the table..it's especially depressing around Christmas time too..
Remember that commercial where the lady opens a can and her roof opens as well? "Many families can't afford both" and she closes the can back? I'm sure those families need the food more then those assholes that drive luxury cars. Don't worry I'm not hating to those that drive luxury cars since I'm one of them but the difference is we actually buy our own food and donate money/food to the food-banks/charities, unlike those fucking cheapasses..
