    Most American grocery stores (at least in California, which is what I know of) run by anyone give their food away for free, as it approaches expiry. Choosing to do so is a lot different than being mandated to.

  No, but most grocery stores do take EBT (for those outside the U.S., it's food assistance).

  Most grocery stores aren't non-profits that are exempt from taxes. Many hospitals are.
