Homeless Feeding: I told you so, kids

Jacksonville.com: Metro: Story: Clara White meal program given $50,000 gift
Jeff Brumley relates how The Sulzbacher Center went from 350 to 518 lunches on Thursday, per TSC's CEO Audrey Moran.
Nope, haven't had the chance of meeting her yet, but my spies all say she's a wonderful woman. It's good to have spies. eMail me for your membership card.
While it's great things are 'coming together', this is reactionary...and it's just October. More people will come locally, as well as more migratory homeless getting away from the cold up north.
You'll have an established population of existing residents of TSC, you'll have an established population of evening and afternoon meal diners from outside, you'll be adding introducing new diners from the other locations...then the migratory population inbound.
Something's gonna 'give'. Anger, frustration, and expectations...all in one centralized location. This is too big a problem and number to introduce to one location, but it's not to big a number to create an auxiliary mess hall that can be deployed safely to meet the needs of Jacksonville's residents needing to eat.
