They're imposing their customs based on dogma on vulnerable people with little to no capacity to choose, with no larger basis than "it's what I was indoctrinated to believe". It's doubly shameful because this is a country that has been trying to unshackle itself from the legacy of a Fascist Catholic dictatorship, the Inquisition, and the forced expulsion/conversion of Jews and Muslims.
Halal/kosher is basically a "farm to table" supply chain requirement. Especially if you're relying on donations it wouldn't be simple to source. I wouldn't expect any charity really to refuse supplies or try to source a 'duplicate' set of supplies for a minority of the people they serve. If they were in a Muslim majority area it would make sense to go to the effort.
The donations they took was money. They bought the food directly from the supermarket, which does have halal items here.
Ah.
Yeah that's kind of a dick move.
