The analogy fails. Consider instead a charity kitchen in a town with a fairly substantial Jewish or Muslim community, but the charity kitchen insists on serving pork.

Here are some statistics about hearing loss: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics...

They are enlightening. 25 % of people between 65 and 75 are hearing-impaired, rising to 50 % of people over 75. What exactly is the argument for excluding the aged from Berkeley's online offerings? It would be wiser to argue in favour of accommodation for disabilities because it may be that you will need them sometime in the future.

Are you seriously suggesting that a charity kitchen dispensing pork should be illegal?

...less sympathetic than GP's example, religion is a choice.

religion is a choice

That's true for both sides. Why someone would do charity but leave a well-defined group out of it is a mystery.

How about, instead of a charity kitchen, it's a restaurant that gives away its leftovers? If they only have pork leftovers, should they not give those away to those in need? By disallowing them, their choice would either be to throw the food in the trash or obtain other food to give away in addition to the pork. Of course, most businesses would just shrug and throw it away.
