Is it wrong to take advantage of charity?

I've been eating at the homeless shelter for sometime now and I could never get full, so i've started walking the half mile up the street to another soup kitchen and eating there also. I don't have any food stamps or any other government support so it doesn't feel like i'm taking advantage of the system. i just don't want to have to go hungry while I try and figure my life out and get back on my feet.

I wouldn't say you were taking the piss. Do you have foodbanks where you are? That's what they're there for.

It would be honourable to just be honest and say youre just hard up and not homeless but it's not essential I guess.
