In a previous post from a now locked thread I had mentioned sending Chris food directly, you can read what I posted below.

Basically I said don’t give Chris cash, but instead send Food Lion gift cards and/or food directly via Amazon Pantry.
Apparently people were doing just that before and gift cards were not being used (you can track the use/balance of a gift card to most places if you have the number) and when Chris got food sent to 14BC he actually tried to get a refund for himself, not the person who paid for it.
I get Chris isn’t the smartest at the best of times, but it doesn’t take a genius to receive a gift card to a place they frequent and think “hmmm, I should use this next time I go out.” My hypothesis is Chris is opening mail, seeing it’s not cash or check, and throwing it away/into the hoard.
I realized these are not the actions of a starving person, not even one as dumb as Chris. Chris and Barb may be poor, but they’re not starving.
