“In the last month or so, police have been telling these volunteers to pack up their buffet tables, slow cookers and coolers or face being arrested. A city ordinance prohibits individuals or groups from distributing food in city parks without a permit. The issue came to a head this weekend when a police officer told Love Wins Ministries founder Hugh Hollowell not to hand out breakfast biscuits on Saturday morning, as his group has done every weekend for the last six years. Hollowell, whose blog post about the incident went viral via social media, was back Sunday morning speaking to the media about being shut down.”
