I used to do food rescue for many years, and I can tell you, if you can avoid getting caught, this is an easier way to get the food that stores throw out. Our agency didn't distribute the food, just collected it from local businesses, chains, and grocery stores. The people it went to would distribute the food, but it was a federally funded nonprofit, and the process of actually getting the food was super means tested as a result.
