Welcome to Free Community Meals

PDF Printable Documents are universally formatted documents that can be emailed, printed, uploaded to an image editor and edited like a jpg image.  And then, converted back into a PDF document.

And, there is a number of software programs where the content can be downloaded or converted into a PDF document.  And, in these cases, if that document has text that are hot links to web addresses, those hot links will still work in that PDF document.

The Free Community Meals PDF Full List is meant to be a complete full list desk reference for offices, agencies, and community centers.  

Our goal is to provide various focused, and up to date printable flyers people in the community can print out & share with others. 

This topic is to update the community regarding the latest updates on the Free Community Meals Listings.  Currently, this topic is just for the developer to write notes during the process of updating these listings.  In the future, topics will be created for community members to add their comments about needed updates, resource feedback, and corrections.  The idea is to develop community discussion and greater awareness.

Here is where we will have direct links to specific highlighted topics, and explain certain details about this highlighted Topic here in this description.  

Every Resource Subject will have a dedicated Forum associated with that resource listing subject.  The best way to describe these Forums is that they are there to serve in the process of creating a Resource List, as well as developing and updating that given list.

Forums Site Overview:

• A Forum Website works like it's own social media website, where people can join, create a Profile, and potentially add comments and contribute to a discussion.
• A Forum serves to organize a catalog list of topics, where some will be pinned to the top for emphasis.  And, the remainder are organized in order of newest to oldest, or oldest to newest.  Some may be closed and locked to prevent further addition of comments.
• A Topic is a list and collection of comments with varying types of entries.  The primary entry will be text.  Text common type of entry will be videos, and photos.

• Group Chat Rooms are also available to use for "Live" discussion by the community.  Our goal is to see community members compare notes, experiences, and provide peer support.  We'd also like to see service professionals make themselves available here to provide answers and support to live questions from community members.

It is a very important and basic function here to facilitate community participation.  Those of us working on and volunteering for the Project will create and develop "closed" topics to manage the development of that given topic.  Other topics will have varying levels of access so the process of adding comments is managed and clearly understood.
