I haven't posted anything recently. and I should provide an update.
Last year, a dinner program at Villa Park Thursday nights was de-funded, resulting in there be no meals being offered on that day during the week. As there is someone else providing food in Pasadena (at Memorial Park) on Tuesdays in the afternoons, the decision was made to switch to serving dinners on Thursday nights. We start this week.
We've also begun to explore the possibilities of a coalition of sorts; along with the serving of food on Tuesdays at Memorial Park, there's a group serving meals in Pasadena at Grant Park on Monday nights. I've approached both of these groups to gauge how well our goals and agendas mesh, and in both cases, it looks like there's a good fit; there's interest in coordinating with a goal of providing meals at a common location, ideally a building dedicated for that purpose. Moreover, as I continue to work on soliciting corporate donations in the food realm, they're open to having BK provide food for their nights as well. The hope is that by joining up, we can make a more attractive presentation to potential donors/
We've also been soliciting feedback from other individuals and groups that have worked with the homeless in the past to become aware as we can about potential issues and concerns as we work on preparing a comprehensive proposal. There's a lot of uncharted territory here.
