Did you know that the world’s first food bank, namely, St. Mary’s Food Bank, was established in the US in 1967? After that, this concept spread all over the world and many such entities popped up around the globe as an increase in food prices adversely affected low-income families.
Speaking of food banks, this group of friends just used one by lying about their income even when the original poster pointed out that it was wrong. The friends shut them down and even wasted the food in the end, which really baffled the original poster (OP)!
