Last Door Recovery has a history of associating itself with terrible people. Aside from employing a serial sexual abuser and ignoring complaints, that is far from all.

So often in the emergency department, people ask why there aren’t enough doctors. It was by deliberate policy.
Underestimating future aging of the population and changing working conditions has lead to this gross deficit

Those animals were culled quickly because that ground zero for radicals could have blown up into a dangerous incident. An elderly neighbour was already assaulted, threats made, they probably had weapons on the property. It could have become convoy 2.0.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.
