Did you hear about this?? Unbelievable – how can any volunteer group deny accepting donations from a collective based on “christian beliefs?”

This week our KRCR News Channel 7 team has been getting to the bottom of the new Red Bluff ban on medicinal marijuana. Collectives, co-ops, and grows were all zoned out of the city limits.
Red Bluff is not the only Northstate area taking a hard look at the role of medicinal marijuana in the community. A food pantry in Shasta Lake City is switching its stance on canned food donated by a local medicinal cannabis collective.
The need has never been higher for food in the City of Shasta Lake. But their community pantry leader is putting his beliefs over the people’s needs, praying it pays off at Thanksgiving.
Just last weekend, we reported that the 530 Collective had agreed to donate canned foods to the Shasta Lake Community Food Pantry. They would accept donations from members of the collective and then donate it to the pantry at Thanksgiving.
Just four days later, the Director of the food pantry Ray Siner says he has had a change of heart and decided he could not in good faith accept any donations from the medical marijuana collective. He told us his Christian beliefs played a big role in his decisions.
He said, “It would help. I’ll admit that, but I believe that the need will be met anyway, just like it has for the last four or five years [that] I’ve been running it out there.”
The Shasta Lake Community Food Pantry serves 180 families every month and had told us donations are down.
The 530 Collective says they will continue to accept donations. They are hoping to find a food pantry or group willing to work with them.
PLEASE NOTE OUR HOURS OF OPERATION HAVE CHANGED!!!
530 COLLECTIVE IS NOW OPEN:
MONDAY – FRIDAY 10A.M TO 7P.M.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M.
If the “christian” people are hungry, accept anything that is given. Just because someone tends to believe in their faith, it does NOT give them the right to deny their “followers” a meal. People, feed your hungry, do not deny them food, over your beliefs. If your beliefs are so tight, than feed them out of your own pocket, and quit complaining when someone is trying to help.
