“I’m not stopping,” said Angela Prattis, who has been distributing meals she receives from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to about 60 children from a gazebo on her property this summer. “These kids are hungry. I’m not tearing down the community. I’m keeping the children out of harm’s way.”
Prattis, who has lived in the township for about three years, started distributing meals and drinks to underprivileged children at her church, the Church of the Overcomer in Trainer, several years ago. This year, after giving birth to her second child, she began distributing the meals from the gazebo in her yard.

It's EVERYONE'S job to feed the hungry.
Anon. 11:19 It's the schools "JOB"..... You've got to be kidding, right? It's the school's job to educate!!! No wonder things are so screwed up.
A lack of diplomacy and tact on her part has made her a professional victim.Anyone should know better than to just do something without going through the channels.Now she'll go to jail and become a martyr.Networks will fight for an interview.Community leaders will not be available for comment.America will be outraged.Kinda reminds me of a similar situation last year in Rehobeth.You remember,Extreme Makeover?
Where is the msm on this one?
12:13. She is doing what is right and what the bible teaches us. If anyone wants to open their home to feed the hungry why should the government tell us we can't.
Screw. The. Government. Please do tell me what she is doing wrong, being a good person?
wow! What is this world coming to? If she wasn't feeding the children, they would be stealing it and heading down the wrong path. What a lesson this women is teaching these children. to give and love with all you are and all you have. Gods speed! Keep it up, you are a blessing.
It's her own property! The government can stand at the curb on THEIR PROPERTY AND BITCH ALL THEY WANT, BUT THAT'S ALL. wHAT SHE DOES ON HER OWN PROPERTY IS HER OWN RIGHT AND BUSINESS. Sorry about the caps, but I'm not rewriting.
Let the Government come on my property as I feed the poor.
They will need their 450 million rounds of hollow point ammo, and may need more to get me off my property!

Get off it. He is not alone. There are a lot of people frustrated and on the edge.
You expect them to identify themselves? Maybe you need some air, buddy.
Nice to see someone doing something nice and much needed. Now if the govt will just get out of the damn way and let people live!
It is getting pretty bad when someone wants, out of the kindness of their hearts, to help someone, while others take offense. This is immoral -- get rid of governments who impose such behaviors. I applaud this lay wanting to do the RIGHT THING. God bless you!
