SUMMARY:Gainesville City Commission meeting on Meal Limits
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis coming Monday at 6pm the City Commission is sched
 uled to take up the limits on food distribution by places of religious
  assembly, as well as the limits that apply to their provision of shel
 ter.\n\nUnder the Code as it now stands, churches cannot feed more tha
 n 20 needy people, even if they are located downtown or in other busin
 ess districts.\n\nUnder the Code as it now stands, churches cannot fee
 d any needy people if they are located within 2000 feet of UF, or with
 in a quarter mile of any other church that feeds the needy.\n\nLike th
 e 130-meal limit that applies to St Francis House, these restrictions 
 on feeding the needy are unreasonable, discriminatory and oppressive -
 - no restaurant or wedding reception has to comply with such limits. I
 dentical restrictions have been struck down in other cities for infrin
 ging the free exercise of religion, exposing taxpayers to damages and 
 legal fees of $100,000 and more. To tell a church that it cannot minis
 ter to the poor on its own property and using its own resources is out
 rageous. The limits should be repealed.\n\nPlease attend the meeting i
 f you can -- and email the Commission at citycomm@cityofgainesville.or
 g -- and urge the Commission to REPEAL these limits and LET EVERY HUNG
 RY PERSON BE FED.\n\nPlease forward this message as you see fit.\n\nJo
 e Jackson\n\n\n\nFor more information visit https://www.zoobird.com/ev
