And she followed up with an offer: “If any of you want some fresh homemade, no calorie counting lasagna, please let me know and I will gladly prepare it,” she wrote.
Brenner set aside her $1,200 stimulus check to buy ingredients, and the requests soon began to trickle in. Nearly three months and 1,200 pans later, Brenner is still at it. About eight hours a day, seven days a week, she helps feed people in her community — from hospital workers and first responders to single parents struggling without paychecks.

What a great neighbor and citizen. America needs more of her. |
That really is a great story.
However, she had better pray the FDA doesn't see it. I didn't see anything in the story about her jumping through the necessary government hoops to be able to do that legally. I've had some experience trying to help like that only to find out you open yourself up to a world of legal liabilities.
But hopefully this unusual situation will enable the FDA and local health department to show some compassion and give people a little more freedom to help each other without coming in to ensure we're doing it "by their book".
