Something has to fund these overheads! Moreover I would be pretty sure that sorting out the haphazard - and sometimes unsuitable - contents of a donations box in the supermarket increases overheads in comparison with allocating a pallet of tinned peaches purchased with cash.
Giving food makes the donor feel good. Giving cash makes the cash work much better.
