Trying to Do Good, But Getting Used

Our church does a Thanksgiving food drive every year. We usually donate extra canned goods and pasta to families struggling in the neighborhood. This year, a young man told us he “just got SNAP but didn’t have enough for a full Thanksgiving dinner” and asked for extra food bags. Of course we agreed. The next day, a volunteer saw him selling the donated food on Facebook Marketplace, with a note saying “SNAP accepted.” Everyone was stunned. We don’t expect anything in return when helping others, but blatant deception like this really hurts. #ThanksgivingCharity #SNAPFraud #CommunityTrust #RealStories
