New rules will ease efforts to feed homeless
Advertiser Staff
Organizations that want to feed the homeless no longer will be required to prepare food in Health Department-certified kitchens under an exemption that went into effect today.The Department of Health will work closely with groups seeking the exemption, but will allow them to cook food at homes and churches as long as they provide food to the homeless free of charge.
The exemption stays in effect for 120 days while a permanent administrative rule change is being sought.
