In Los Angeles and Ventura counties for the past 20 years, police and church representatives aggressively worked to stop Servants of the Father of Mercy missionary outreaches to the region's 80,000 + homeless. We were bullied with letters, raids, inspections, threats and police presence to stop aid consisting of food, water, clothing and spiritual care. An elderly man, 93 was imprisoned three times in Fort Lauderdale, FL for giving food to the homeless. Many other cities from Seattle to Miami have threatened homeless charities and civil servants that help the homeless. In Arizona, this grandmother was permitted to serve food in the park for weddings and birthday parties. However, it is illegal to give food to a poor starving person. At one point many years ago, Los Angeles was considering a law to make it illegal to give food and water to a migrant homeless person.
