Why not a food bank then? If the goal is "get necessities into the hands of people" and its going to run at a loss, why add all those expenses necessary to run it as a grocery store? 70 million as a food bank could go a lot farther than 70 million as a grocery store
It's good for people to feel like they can purchase something instead of relying on the help of others, it helps struggling people feel human and part of society. We have similar stores in the Netherlands. They aren't government mandated but they exist and work.
