Hour for me as well. Almost at the light at Airway. I bet traffic is all the way to Airline.

Tried to walk up at 11 and they wouldn't let us due to traffic.

We donated money and left

A lot of support

I don't know if there is another planned fundraiser, but I hope to God we never need one of these again.

If any of y'all are going i'd park in the grass along the tracks and walk over.

They may change their stance later, but even when we parked and walked over they basically said they couldn't take our order. We would have to get in our cars and wait in line.

It's very clear they didn't expect this amount of traffic and support

It's a good problem to have

No walk ups now. I just talked to 3 walking back empty handed.

We walked up just right after 11:15 and we were turned away / told to wait.

So dumb. They should have stacks of them out by the street for whoever has money to buy.

I mean, it's hard to get mad about it. We just thanked them and pitched in and left. No big deal

We did drive my Montrells funeral procession area and that was cool to see.

Did you pre-order? That might be why.

Did not pre order. Thought we could just walk up as we were only ordering 6 plates.

We fixed our own plates for our team order. Wasn't a big deal.

They had plenty of volunteers and were filling 4 long tables full of plates but still did not have enough people to keep the tables full.

For perspective, they basically fixed twice the United way jambalaya cook downtown worth of food.

We pre-ordered 50 and they couldn't keep up with that based on the response.

That's why we fixed our own plates.

Either way we had a back up plan to just give the money and pick up food elsewhere if need

Just got back to the office.

Overheard Jason (the organizer) IIRC he said they had 6200ish pre ordered and cooked enough for 10,000

I was lucky to get in line before they started making people go back to their cars.

Plenty of people there, itll just take some time.
