Question
We have a soup kitchen, and it is challenging for us to distribute the third meal, especially in winter. Is it sufficient for the recipients to be satisfied from the previous meal?
Answer
There is an obligation to distribute to the poor so they can fulfill the mitzvah, and therefore it is appropriate to also provide them with a package for the third meal.
