Under a tough new Fairfax County policy, residents can no longer donate food prepared in their homes or a church kitchen — be it a tuna casserole, sandwiches or even a batch of cookies — unless the kitchen is approved by the county, health officials said yesterday.So small churches without commercial grade kitchens can no longer help. And individuals who want to donate food from their own kitchens, that's out too. Better for the homeless to eat out of dumpsters than risk getting sick from non-approved food. . .
They said the crackdown on home-cooked meals is aimed at preventing food poisoning among homeless people.

Very sad but not surprising. Next will be not accepting Christmas presents for poor familes from Churches because they might contain unwanted spiritual messages.
