saved food from a community program

[Guest Tasneem]

My husband works in the resident association of our area as a committee member. Basically the work is voluntary and their main work is to arrange one program each month or so. (programs like book/magazine sales, 'learning english as 2nd language', training for housewives to maintain kids, annual potluck dinner etc) .

The job for the committee members is unpaid.

The money for maintaining the programs comes from the community who pay a small yearly fee for the association. Another source of the money comes from rental of a hall in community office. Also, sometimes, some food shops donate food for this community.

What other committee members do is whenever they bring some food for the community ( bakery goods etc), they keep some of the best tasting food items away from others' sight, so that when distribution is over, the committee members will take the saved food home.
My question is : is this right thing to do? or will it be considered disloyalty towards the community? Will such food be considered halal for the committee members (or for their family)?
 My husband finds it irritating but, he feel pressurized to bring his share of food home. What will be the right thing to do in such case?

It's not about if it's halal or haram, it's more about generosity and honour. It's not honourable to give people food and leave the good tasting ones to yourself, nor is it generous. Sacrificing the good food to give to others is great, and appreciated by God.

Perhaps the volunteer workers think that since they don't get paid, at least they get to share some of the food. If you and your husband don't need the food or don't want it, please give it to someone who lives near you.

Jazakillahu khair for the advice.

In the meanwhile, my husband has decided to not play any further role in the food distribution areas.
