Soup kitchens don't have that Star Trek thing in the back, "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" and it appears. My church runs a soup kitchen where my wife, daughter and I volunteer. The kitchen is open for a certain amount of time. A certain amount of food is made. If you as a customer get there after the kitchen closes, you go hungry. If you get there close to the end, you might only get potatoes and salad, because the meat, veggies and bread are already gone. If the OP got the last full meal, then you go hungry (or at least not as full as you might have been). Been there, seen it, and feel really bad having to tell a truly needy soul that there is no more food.
