A family down the street from us don't have a lot. They go to the food bank and live in a subsidized house. My wife and I always buy a little extra and put it on their doorstep anonymously. A bag of apples, some drawing supplies for the kids that sort of thing. We do it anonymously because nobody wants to be the taker so it leaves them with a bit more dignity. We just found out our neighbor (whom we have always called Mrs Kravitz after the nosy neighbor on Bewitched) told them who it was. Now it feels awkward. I don't want to stop because I know they can use it but I don't want them feeling like they owe us or thinking we view them as "that" family. Just not sure how to go about it now that they know who it is.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. We'll keep doing it but it is nice to have some ways of making it easier for them to feel ok about it. Once this whole covid thing is over it'll be easier to just invite them over for dinner once in a while. Not to mention ask them for help so they feel better about it.

McRibs are the single best food stuff made of pork gristle and shredded cardboard in the world. Add the high fructose corn syrup in tomato sauce masquerading as barbeque sauce, pickle and onion and it creates a nearly edible food substitute.
