Not everything a food bank gives out is non-perishable.

You'd know that if you'd ever been to one. Unironically check your privilege.

As I stated earlier - the food is given out in 'lots' - It has perishables, and non perishables. They can't give it to him if he doesn't have a place to store it. (A "friends place" isn't a place to store it either because then who's to tell if the "friend" isn't just using him to hit up food shelters for a second time?) A good portion of it would simply rot if he didn't have a place for it.

Due to the way it's all regulated, they can't just keep some of it and give him only non-perishables either. (Due to people pinching stuff out of the lots to take home for themselves) Your ignorance is shining so brightly I can hardly see at this point...
