I think alot of people who used to have good jobs have lost them, and yes, they still have the nice cars (and yes, the insurance hopefully) and the nice houses that went with having that money - but they need help to eat if they have families and kids.

Should they sell the car and buy a used beater, use the difference for food? Possibly, but I'm sure they just want help until they are employed again. Most charity places don't ask questions, but I can't imagine that people that don't need the help, and can afford all the groceries they want, are abusing it to walk in there to get free cans of soup and boxes of macaroni and cheese.
