Catholic Food Shelf Rejects Food From Planned Parenthood

by Jessica Pieklo



A Green Bay, Wisconsin Catholic food pantry would rather see people go hungry than accept 50 lbs of donated food from Planned Parenthood.

As part of its Martin Luther Kind food drive, Planned Parenthood collected the food to donate to Paul’s Pantry, a Catholic food shelf whose entire mission is to feed the hungry. Lisa Boyce, spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said, What was told to me was that they simply said we do not want any food donations from you period.”

Planned Parenthood donated the food to the Salvation Army instead and will do so in the future. “We provide non judgmental care to everyone regardless of our patients, regardless of their personal, political or personal viewpoints and would hope that is the same for our other community partners including Paul’s food Pantry,” said Boyce. Paul's Pantry has declined to comment.

So we can add feeding the poor to providing emergency care and finding orphan children homes to the list of services the Catholic church will no longer provide without political concession.

1. and the LORD said--Let them eat cake.....No wait that was someone else

2. I don't know if it's still the case

but in south Florida, the LGBT center took donations for Toys for Tots and amassed a good many brand-new toys donated by the LGBT community. A couple of years in a row the Marine Corps refused to pick up or accept the donations. I refused to support Toys for Tots ever since. Same thing with Salvation Army: they refuse to help LGBT people, so fuck them, too.

Looks as if we'll have to keep an eye on quite a few other "pick-and-choose" "charities".

The bigots can be all morals from their high perches, without hunger or privation. It costs them little to nothing to turn their noses up. It's the ones they should be helping they always hurt.

4. I did something interesting RE The Salvation Army during Xmas season of 2010.

There were a couple of prominent news stories about the local SE Michigan chapter discriminating against GLBT people and unwed mothers.

So, I typed up a little slip of paper that said basically "Hey, if you want a donation from me, stop discriminating and spreading hate. I'm donating the funds I ordinarily give to the Salvation Army every Christmas season to other organizations that don't practice discrimination" and folded those up and slipped them in the red kettles.

I doubt it made any impact on them, but it sure felt good to do it.

5. That's a great idea . . . I'll remember it for next year.

6. works for me--they need to know that their policies are not acceptable.

several years ago, when it became widely known how discriminatory SA's ceo was, I called the local chapter to say I would no longer be giving them my annual donation, and why. the local chapter president tried to assure me that the local chapter, at least, did not operate that way. I told him, that's great--now how about taking it up with your bigoted ceo.

7. More reprehensible behavior from Catholics

And so-called liberals still go to church and donate to support this hate group.

9. They also reserve the right to deny non-Catholics. I took a friend to as one of the Catholic

churches for help. She is a divorced Catholic. I went in with her and the priest grilled her about her marriage and her life. He started to refuse her but when I asked him what she should do since she had no food he gave her several cans of veggies and some old baby food - she did not have a baby.
