Please, share your meal times info... the calendar is out of date

The calendar hasn't received major updates recently. And the special TDIN holiday meal listing is so incomplete, it's hard to use it as a guide. They've also been sketchy on the accuracy of the listings in the past. The calendar is supposed to be reliable, but it's not. Not really. There's been some good feedback on meal program specifics so far, and that's been awesome. Please - keep it coming, and we need more. At some point, the calendar will be replaced with one that's easier for the public to work on without logging in and something. Like a wiki calendar, wiki map, that kind of stuff.

Trying to keep the calendar up to date, without actually using the meal programs, leads to a lot of dead ends like these:

What's the deal with Masaryk Cowan? Does anybody know if they're still doing breakfasts, or whether they have any extra holiday meals or closures? Their answering machine is full. Is there an email address for them?

The Salvation Army's Gateway website doesn't exist. They're also really bad at publishing their contact information, and promoting their meals. 211 thinks they have a saturday dinner program. Is it saturday, or is it every 2nd tuesday?

Et cetera, et fucking cetera. Every org does not communicate with its users. Exactly why this site exists. Ask soup kitchen staff why they find publishing to the net so impossible. Go ahead and ask them. They could use Blogger, they could use Facebook, they could use the sites that they already have, but no. It's all just too difficult. It's too much. Too much hassle. Too much co-ordination. I mean, the only reason they have flashy websites that are hard for them to update, with blank calendars that have never been added to by staff, is that they need a placeholder site in order to get funding. That's what it's there for. All the meal programs info that we do see, or any content aimed at their users, is a generous fucking afterthought, and one that cost them extra money.

So please, users, share your research. Share your schedule! Please. It matters right now more than usual because it's the holidays, but really, it's going to matter next month much, much more than it does this month. It's gonna matter during January, where we have to go six weeks between payments instead of four. So we're 50% poorer in January. January's the craziest month because of the lack of money, December's the craziest month because of unexpected holiday-related closures. So between those two problems, This site becomes more important than it is during the rest of the year.
