The Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen, always strapped for cash, won't get federal grant money through the city's grant program this year, the soup kitchen's director says.The thousands of dollars slated for the soup kitchen will instead go to city recreation programs.
The city is completely within its right to take grant money promised to one program and direct it to another, said Merry Stover, executive director for the nonprofit The Soup Kitchen Inc.
But in the nonprofit world, that's just not how things are done, Stover said. As an 18-year veteran of nonprofit management, Stover said she has never seen anything like it.
