A lunch lady in Pennsylvania will be fined for running a free lunch program in her community since it is in violation of a township ordinance.

Angela Prattis, who has been handing out free, pre-packaged meals to underprivileged children in her Toby Farms neighborhood in Chester Township, will be fined $600 per day unless she would apply for a variance, or exception, from the ordinance in order to be allowed to continue the activities.

According to the town, the lunch lady is zoned residential and therefore needs a variance to offer free lunches. However, it would cost her $1,000 just to apply.
