How do I do this without being a villain? Do I?

You should start a fundraiser or foundation under your dads name that you donate instead, that way you can pick and choose where you want those donations to go afterwards...it doesn't have to be to the same place every time
 
Find another food bank, donate publicly, make a post on social media saying they're the best food bank around.

Yes it will fuck up your anonymity but you already fucked that up. Now it's about saving your businesses.

Your father would understand.
 
Thank for your honesty. There’s probably some truth in that. It just pisses me off our government got us in this mess and allowed such blatant scamming and of course, I hate those scamming our systems as much as those who enable it. They are supposed to show money to prove they can sustain themselves for this exact reason.

I don’t think we shouldn’t accept being treated as second class citizens in our own taxpayer funded countries, ran by governments who are supposed to represent our needs. I’m not asking for sympathy, I’m looking for honest opinions and yours was a help.


I should probably just shut the hell up and find another place to send my money. I have no choice but be wrapped up in my own bullshit though as it is what I do for a living and I need to make careful moves. Was hoping for some reassurance that I’m not a scumbag. Maybe I am.

Maybe find another food bank that serves First Nations communities?
 
Ok so basically I’ll dive right into it but my father for years donated anonymously to the food bank. On his passing, I found this out. I thought maybe to keep his memory alive, I would continue to do so in the same fashion and have been a donor for about 5 years anonymously as well. I have done contracting work for them free of charge a couple of times that people may or not know about but I wanted to be anonymous in my donations just in the spirit of my father. All cash.

Anyways, as time has gone on, I noticed that my anonymity was not so due to the lady running it having a big mouth. Not a big deal, mostly a minor thing. Whatever. I was annoyed. I also have some issues with how the money is spent and if I had some time alone with the books, I’m sure there’s some stuff going on I wouldn’t agree with.

But as most Canadians already know, we are plagued by immigration scammers. A common system they use to get in is our international student program. 4/5 of our foodbank use nationally is from people who have been here less than 5 years. Foreign students have to prove they have the funds to sustain themselves but they just borrow money from scammers in India, show it them give it back with fees and come here. There’s numerous videos of them on YouTube telling eachother how to get free food here. This infuriates me.

The other day, I mentioned how many other food banks are specifically blocking non residents and foreign students and got absolutely blasted and called down to the lowest by the lady in charge. She minced no words in what was probably the worst shit anyone’s ever said to me. She brought my deceased father into it and said he’d be ashamed of me for wanting to feed Canadians first, not those who came here on false pretences or are using the food bank when they don’t need to.

So… what would you do? My anonymity is kind of compromised and as a multiple business owner, I’m worried about backlash from refusing to donate to the food bank anymore due to what could be perceived as racism.

I’m not a far right extremist. This is a very mainstream issue right now to the point where the federal liberals who so badly broke the immigration system and allowed all this to happen are even rolling back a lot of the stuff they did. I am not in minority here.

Do I pull out politely over differences or do I continue to donate out of fear? My mom suggested I openly donate to another charity but I’d like to just lay low with this. I want to do it to help people in the spirit of my father who was a great man.

TLDR: do I continue donating money anonymously to an organization I have disagreements with, ran by a woman I hate out of fear of woke cancel culture?

Donate to animals instead of this bullshit.

Never get bullied by people like this. They will keep taking and taking until theres nothing left. You definietly do not continue donating to something you dont believe in. Stand up for your self.
 
How is this a fucking question? You're playing right into their bullshit games by worrying about "racism". Fuck them and their games. Take your money elsewhere and don't even give it another thought.
 
How do you even have a relationship with the person who runs the food bank? That's your first mistake. You must live in the middle of nowhere. Your second mistake was trying to tell them how to run their operation.

No one is obligated to your monetary donations. Do with it as you see fit. At the same time I don't necessary see how shes wrong for criticizing you.

Just stop donating. You don't have to tell anyone why.

If they try to contact you, ghost them.

Yeah fam she wasn't wrong fi seh TS' late faddah wuld be ashamed of him totally justifiable wen sum1 giv u stacks of cash TS shuld be gr8ful dem even tek di money 🤦🏽
 
I don’t hate anyone who follows our laws and doesn’t scam our system. We’re all in this together trying to do the best we can and some people ignore our rules and literally steal from us.
i was just joking.

sorry i should have made that more noticeable.

i used to volunteer at at a foodbank place myself, where we would give breakfast for the homeless. we only had those single serve cereal boxes which were tiny, those watered down juices which were cordial mix in those huge containers and we gave them a egg and bacon in a bun with tomato or bbq sauce. so this was purely meant for the homeless in sydney, and this was in a suburb where there were homeless a plenty, but somehow this got the attention of the asians who came to sydney and this was part of their tour on a saturday morning at 9am. these big tour busses with 40+ people would turn up here at the same time we started our bbq and we had no rite to turn them down. so they come in the bus loads even if 1 bus turned up, thats 40 mouths that needed the food that wasnt given to them. we actually were able to say we dont want to serve them until we attended to all the actual noticeable people in need. but once we did that we had to serve them. (and dont ask how we knew the difference, that was easily noticeable especially after i served many months there within 3 weeks i saw the regular OGs and true people.)

but to me that was sickening, that tour groups would actually organise to put their groups on a 'feed the homeless' breakfast as their first activity of the day. and it was always the asian chinese in this situation in sydney. there were iirc maybe 4 big food banks in sydney cbd area at the time and 2 of them were targeted by these asian tours with bus loads. i only was aware of one of them since i was only volunteering at one of them.
 
fuck that stand on your principles. Also I won't donate to your go fund me if you lose everything so keep that in mind too. But seriously fuck that.

I donate to the salvation army. They are the only charity I fully trust, and they help a shitload of people.
 
I worked at a food bank for three years. I loved everybody I worked with, the people who came in, what we were doing for the community. But I’ll tell you, these are not perfect operations, and I left out of frustration.

Nahhhh. Whoever was running that joint should have shut that shit down. At least do an intake with the homeless so that they become clients, then you can say it’s a clients only breakfast. If more actual homeless come in then add them too. But fuck these cunts and the bus they rode in on.
