I volunteer at a food bank once a week. The woman who runs it knows I encounter a lot of homeless camps while hiking with my dogs, so she has me take care packages to deliver to some of them. We are having a very hard time getting can openers, which sucks because so much food we give out is canned. I try and buy any can openers I see at the flea market. But have also purchased a dozen for people in the last few months.
The hand crank can openers aren't the only kind, there are also cheap, stamped sheet metal can openers with a blade. These are more fiddly but extremely cheap, and do the job.
Here's some army surplus that's 50c a pop

Yes, you beat me to it.
@nocturne@sopuli.xyz shoot me a message on where you're at. Depending on the country, I may be able to help and send you a hundred of these can openers linked above.
Edit: Give me the food bank's address please.
Never got a notification you tagged me. Next time I am at my laptop I will send you a message (I cannot see a way to send messages on Mlem)
