Petition: End Homeless Feeding Bans
In Houston, Texas, there are anti-homeless feeding bans that prevent citizens from donating food to more than five individuals. The Coalition for the Homeless Houston recorded 3,567 homeless residents in Harris County, of which 1,515 were living on the streets rather than in shelters. Although people can still donate basic necessities such as blankets, clothes, and hygiene products, it is inconsiderate to the homeless population who rely on other citizens to obtain free food.
Along with this, violators of the law will face fines of up to $2,000 for performing good deeds. With the establishment of this ordinance, homeless individuals hopelessly roam the streets begging for food that will never come. This must come to a stop immediately
These anti-humanitarian regulations must be eradicated.
Sign this petition to demand that Houston City Councillors End Homeless Feeding Bans in Houston and ensure that citizens in Houston and beyond continue to spread love and kindness to homeless individuals.
