A Kansas City group trying to feed the homeless got shut down by the city’s Health Department, who ended up pouring bleach on the food to make sure nobody could eat it.
A group called ‘Free Hot Soup KC’ were handing out sandwiches, soup, and homemade chili. But the Health Department says they weren’t complying with food safety standards, and putting people at risk for illnesses like E. coli or salmonella.
The group says what they were doing was no different than having a picnic in the park with friends. They promised to keep feeding the homeless, despite the crackdown.
