Even if Fairfax County fixes this situation (which I rather suspect they will do as quickly as they can, given the DREADFUL publicity), it’s still there in the code.

We have a similar organization in Charlottesville, PACEM, which provides shelter and food for the homeless during the cold seasons. It’s a group organized around various faith groups and brings the best out in everybody. Home-cooked meals are a key part of this organization. It would be devasting to both the volunteers and beneficiaries to have bureaucrats (no matter how well-meaning) tell us that we could no longer provide these meals. Our families eat them – why can’t our homeless friends do so?

Thank you for taking the initiative to introduce legislation to carve out an exception that will fix this problem. Let us know, via your website, if there’s anything that needs to be done on our parts to see your bill become law.
