San Jose orders Christian pastor feeding more than 1,000 people a day to shut down his free grocery line — or face fines of up to $20,000 per day.
A pastor is giving away food to people who cannot afford groceries, and the local government is threatening him with financial ruin over zoning regulations.
According to the report, Lighthouse feeds more than 1,000 people every day, five days a week, providing milk, eggs, meat, fresh produce, and other essentials to families struggling with California’s high cost of living.
The organization also prepares specialized food boxes for people with diabetes, vegetarians, and homeless residents who need ready-to-eat meals.
Here’s where the story becomes even more astonishing.
In March 2022, the City of San Jose itself published an official tribute to the Lighthouse Ministries Food Pantry, celebrating Olmos and his volunteers as community heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In its official city government feature, San Jose praised the ministry for providing free groceries and essential supplies to vulnerable residents.
The same government that once celebrated Pastor Olmos as a community hero is now threatening his ministry with massive penalties.
