Can a list of outreach services and number of people served by the Alderman be provided? I do believe that meal trucks overcome certain barriers to location-based meal programs. They are foundational throughout the country.

Obviously just driving up to where the homeless people are and giving them a bowl of soup isn't going to do it.<br /><br />How about this compromise: Salvation Army sets up away from the disgusting underpasses/parks and homeless people just follow the signs for free food.

If the trucks were non-disruptive in the past and present, why are they disruptive now? I didn't know there were 6 food kitchens in the area, that's a LOT, so no one needs to go hungry. I can also appreciate the Alderman trying to turn the area around so that it's not a slum.<br />Now he just needs to go after the slum landlords and slum buildings.

Is there a precedent for the alderman's office to make a unilateral judgement on the efficacy of a social service and require that they change their programs? Or was he simply making a request more or less as a citizen or someone at the level of a business owner? Anyone know?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484859156885765940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-77087453465551368862013-03-03T18:03:39.172-06:002013-03-03T18:03:39.172-06:00I wish one of those cupcake trucks would come to t...I wish one of those cupcake trucks would come to the ward as much as the these crappy free food trucks did. <br /><br />Cupcakes with buttercream frosting are good.

I am ELATED that they are working within the Community, availing themselves of the available resources to effect REAL change. <br /><br />Throwing money at a problem isn't a solution.
