Volunteers of America VOA Prolonged starvation Lancaster California

I am currently staying at a homeless shelter in Lancaster, California that is ran by Volunteers of America. The organization reports to the government that they serve 3 meals a day to it's residents meaning any benefits a resident receives from SSI or SNAP (food stamps) is significantly reduced. But the meals served here are beyond terrible and since instant coffee and powdered cocco are the only edible items allowed to be brought in, residents who can afford it stock up on powdered hot chocolate to make up for the lack of calories in the meals. All meals are served on 2 separate paper plates or bowls which have the same item(s) and the server always tells the resident they are getting "firsts and seconds". I am unsure why this takes place as the food would easily fit in one bowl or on one plate. 4/22/23 - breakfast: 2 bowls of yogurt with crunchy things mixed in I could not identify along with 2 small apple wedges and a cup of watered down juice or coffee. I forced myself to eat 3 spoonfuls of the yogurt to keep from starving. Lunch: 2 plates of salad which consisted of lettuce, garbanzo beans, croutons, a sauce of some kind and a very small amount of chicken. (Imagine chopping one chicken mcnugget into squares) and watered down juice and hot sauce packets. Dinner: 2 bowls of cooked elbow macaroni, tomato sauce, and a very small amount of ground beef along with watered down juice and hot sauce packets. After eating this I was very jealous of the people standing in line at the vending machine which is always stocked with overpriced cookies and chips, but I spent all my money on hot chocolate powder, which I would put to use as soon as I got back to my bed. These people are pulling some kind of scam and funds they are supposed to use for food is going somewhere else. I notice an SUV pulls up with a large pot of food a few minutes before mealtime and serving and cooking are always done by the same people who look related to each other. At least I have a friend I can visit during the day and eat something occasionally. I feel sorry for those who have to survive on what they are fed here, many of whom are elderly or have mental disabilities and have no voice that is heard by anyone.
