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.

If you can't afford to eat any other way then you are exactly the kind of person that soup kitchens and the like were set up for so you aren't 'taking advantage'.
