The Eugene, OR, Department of Human Services refused food for the poor donated by Women Leaders in Cannabis.

“We discussed in detail [with the DHS office in Eugene] how we would make it happen,” Lindsey Jacobsen, the executive director of WLC, told KATU. “And a few days later we got a phone call back stating that they wouldn’t be able to work with us due to too much time being spent on it.”

“It’s disheartening,” Jacobsen added. “We have lives just like everybody else, families, jobs. We’re just happy to be able to give back now that we have the opportunity to.”

Gene Evans, a DHS spokesman, told the TV station that it was the decision of the office, not the state or the agency itself, but it’s not clear why the state allowed the local office to refuse food for the hungry.

    Find a privately run food pantry and donate it to them, and make sure it gets in the news exactly what happened. Don’t just leave it hanging like that.

      I thought they were too progressive for that.

    Since the government aren’t doing their job helping the poor, so they will block anybody who will, is that what this saying?

        Makes no sense, if people are hungry let people feed them, where has the compassion gone in this country for those less fortunate!

          I don’t understand how you will allow someone to starve when you yourself aren’t willing to help.

            I don’t think this is what America is all about!

          Compassion goes by the wayside when unconscionable conservatives are involved.

      I have generated 74,000 dollars so far this year working online and I am a full time student. I am attached with an online business entity that I heard about and I have earned such great cash. It is really user friendly and I feel myself lucky to have that option. Why not try this. yuh..
