There are usually plenty of soup kitchens, churches, salvation army etc to find a meal or even just groceries if you're down on your luck but not homeless. I think a lot of people are either unaware of the resources available or they are so strung out they just naturally go for days without worrying about eating so long as they can find the next hit.
I'm not saying giving food isn't a nice gesture but it's like a band aid rather than a solution.
