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.

@Lilliesandlight thank you, and today it was really big sandwiches so i did get full.

@Lostpoet that's awesome, I'm glad. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. If you need to vent I'm a good listener 🙂

@Lilliesandlight Thank you. I feel like i've said a lot online already and it feels like it just comes back to haunt me. I'll message you sometime though if you're ok with that.
