Feeding Kaffara must be given as food to poor believer and not cash. If you don't have access to ooor believers where you live, you can send the Kaffara to other places where poor believers can be fed.

Food banks usually give food to public with out the condition of faith, that is why, it is not allowed to give Kaffara to them, but you can give them general charity or donation for feeding general public.

Kaffara of breaking an with is feeding ten poor believers or clothing them. Feeding  must be given in food not cash, to poor believers. It can not be given to food banks who give everyone from every faith. You can give the amount to any trusted Muslim charity or person who buys and distributes food for poor believers only.

If you took an oath to do something which you know that it is wrong or you discovered later that it is wrong, then such oath itself is invalid. You don't need then to feed ten poor persons or clothe them or fast three days as expiation.

This is not an oath but a Promise to Allah which is called is Shariat as عهد . The Kaffara not fulfilling the Promise to Allah is similar to the Kaffara of deliberately breaking fast of the month of Ramadan, which is feeding sixty poor believers or fasting of two months or freeing a slave which is not available now a days.

Kaffara of breaking an Oath يمين or not fulfilling Nathr نَذر (Mannat) is feeding ten poor believers or clothing them and if unable then fasting for three days.

Repenting from a sin is very important, and that's very good that you have sincerely repented from it, but it does not mean you are able to deny having committed it if confronted about it. Taking a false oath is a major sin, and worse than that is swearing a false oath on the holy Quran. 

As for saving your honour, you need to weigh out what the situation is, and what kind of consequences there will be for revealing this sin, or whether there will be detremental damage to you, or harm. 

It might be advisable that you somehow change the scenario, or do tawriyah, to avoid severe backlash, if that is what the situation will be.

With prayers for your success.

Saving your life and/ or life of others is obligatory. If the only way to save life is taking false oath, then it might be permissible if there are no other Islamic reason against it.

Saving honour has many degrees which must be considered before replying this part of your question. We need to understand the real situation first, then reply can be researched according to Islamic rules.
