| Mr Khan said: Not donations, per se, but rather direct dispensing, which is equivalent to responding to panhandling. As unchristian as the law may sound, there is some sense to it, to help draw the homeless off the streets and towards government/non-profit institutions. The issue, again, is mental illness amongst the homeless who may then be too paranoid to bother. |
I was under the impression that NYC has banned all food donations, including to homeless shelters and food banks.
