Instead of the perfectly-fine "expired" food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

The people who utilize food banks are not the addicted population you are most likely imagining. It’s everyday people who have a home, but not enough money left over for adequate sustenance.

Also, go volunteer at a soup kitchen wherever you live. You’ll see a lot more people who look closer to you than to the people you are describing, I guarantee it.

There will always be the exception of course, but most people who need and will use food banks are not parading themselves out on the streets flaunting their homelessness.
