Feeding Homeless Apparently Illegal in Raleigh, NC

Blah Blah

What is illegal is setting up an unlicensed soup kitchen in the park.

If they want to feed these people in a real soup kitchen somewhere we
would only heard good things if we heard anything at all.

I am surprised a "law and order" guy like yourself would want
unlicensed, un inspected, non-permitted operations like this around.

Harry's soft underbelly aside, what sort of "God and Family" promoters
effectively outlaw local charity? I assume their $800 per day permit
applies to "a real soup kitchen somewhere" too.

Some homeless people have serious psychological problems and won't have
anything to do with shelters or soup kitchens. Others have had very real
bad experiences at those sorts of places. The key in effective social
services is to serve those in need where they are or where they will go.

The organization has been helping out the down and out for some time. To
me, what is going on there is just another manifestation of the
institutional racism that is coming to the surface again in the Carolinas.
