Gainesville City Commissioners will meet this afternoon to consider serving more meals for the homeless at downtown's St. Francis House homeless shelter and soup kitchen. City Comissioner Scherwin Henry says plans are being explored to open the Martin Luther King Recreation Center to serve the homeless during the holidays.
Currently, city code regulates food distribution to up to 130 meals served in a 24-hour period but are considering raising the limit for Thanksgiving and Christmas day meals.
