Local resident proposes church-led free community meal and outreach in late May or June
Summary
A resident identified in the transcript as Jane asked the council for permission to organize a late-May/early-June park event where churches would provide free food and fellowship to reach residents who don’t attend church; she said volunteers and an immigrant crew would provide the food and that she will return with details.
During public comment at the January 2026 White Square City Council meeting, Speaker 4 (who identified as Jane later in the exchange) proposed organizing a church-led community outreach event at the park around late May or early June.
Jane said the intent is to reach residents who may avoid church settings and to offer free food and fellowship; she said church volunteers would staff the event and an immigrant crew would bring a smoker to prepare food. She asked the council to allow her to coordinate churches and promised to return with full details and logistical information so the council could be updated and the event scheduled.
Speaker 1 told Jane to come back with the details and the council would review the information. No formal council vote or funding request for the event was recorded in the provided segments.
