We use the maps for a large food drive event every year - will we hit a DOS limit?

Hello,
Here in Calgary we have a huge city-wide food drive each September. I run a call centre that depends heavily on the meetinghouse locator functionality to know where to assign drivers to pick up missed bags of food. We have 5 people who sit around my kitchen table for about four hours and look up addresses to find out what stake and ward they are in.
Does anyone know if we'll hit some sort of usage limit? Even more amazing would be if there's an API we could use to do this. We wrote our own software to handle the call centre and it works really well, but looking up the ward and stake is still quite manual. It would ruin our effort if lds.org cut us off after too much use. Complicating it further, everyone except me is a non-member at the call centre so we'll have to share my maps.
If anyone has any insight, I'd love to hear it. Thanks. If you might know how I can contact someone who works in that area for the church, that would be great too.
