So you explained it to the employee and they still didn’t get it? You are already donating your time to the food bank, I feel like most people would understand if it were framed like that.
I was a staff member, so it wasn’t exactly donating my time (though I won’t deny I put in a lot of free overtime and rarely took the allotted breaks, so some of my time at that organisation was donated, but I was a paid staff member)
The bigger issue was that they money I was using did not belong to me, it already belonged to the charity that I was being asked to donate to.

Not even just that, the money they were spending was the food bank’s money, and the card was labeled as such.
