Most [0] people have phones, so if food banks are well-used, they're going to be a WiFi attractor. This is a highly likely explanation.
[0] My spouse is a social services worker who specializes in the homeless. She says having a phone is a priority among social services recipients, but they rarely have a data plan (which is very expensive in Ottawa) and rely on WiFi for everything.

Because there would be many other destinations as well, that locals would be likely to group within, but which make no sense as travel destinations. Schools, churches, workplaces, gyms, markets etc. It seems like non-locals would be unlikely to visit a food bank.
