Agreed. FEMA appears to have rules against accepting food from individuals for distribution to disaster victims. Back in 2011 we had a big wildfire here, and a local church volunteered their annex building to house and feed folks. People brought in food from home, Pizza Hut donated lots of pizza, and the whole community pitched in to help. The county judge asked FEMA for help, and when they finally arrived, they immediately threw out ALL of the donated food and replaced it with the canned/processed food from their warehouses. That REALLY pissed off the locals, and they told FEMA to pack up and go home.
It seems now FEMA has stretched those rules to only allow food from their favored vendors list.
