"celebrate" seems an odd word in this context, but I do think our society needs to "normalize" that people need their basic needs covered one way or the other. If we as a society fail to provide the weakest with what is needed (despite surplus being available), we can't really complain about them trying to take it themselves. And this shouldn't be seen as charity, but rather as a human right.
