Ban on food donations is consistent with helping the homeless.
Let that insanity sink in a bit.
This is exactly what liberals in our cities spend theit time on - making everything more expensive and less efficient for the citizens.
In addition to (deliberately) destroying private charity and making it more expensive to feed the homeless, just think about how wasteful it is that city employees even think about and promulgate such rules.
In a just society these officials would be told to stop wasting money and get out on the street at night to monitor crime, or else be fired because they are worse than useless.
Maybe the ACLU is behind this insanity. Think about it...food donated by Churches, Synagogues, and surplus foods from RELIGIOUS festivities has a RELIGIOUS symbolism.
These foodsutffs, donated to government agencies may well be held to violate the “wall of separation between Church(!) and State”. This cannot be allowed to continue.
Bloomie only means well.
