Capitalism is what is stopping them. Food is a commodity that must be sold, not given. I don't like it but this is the world we live in.

That's not true, actually.  Many chain grocery stores donate tons of food to charity.  The one I worked at donated about a pallet of canned and packaged food a month to the local food bank.  They also gave away entire pallets of water after the last hurricane.

The reality is, donating new canned and packaged food is cheaper and more practical from a logistical perspective.  

However, I do know that some grocery stores do donate damaged bags of pet food to animal shelters.
