Living off redistributed surplus is exactly what happens when you don’t work.

I’ve been there: no job = food pantry + food stamps.

I live in a nice area. Since we are wealthy, our local economy has quite a bit of surplus. The food pantries regularly have organic and high end food. Plenty of people with money go there just because - why not?

The poorer parts of the county don’t have as much surplus, so they’re food pantries had old cheese and peanut butter.

I’m not sure what the solution is.
