Volunteer supplemental meal program grows

For the past four weeks, volunteers have been at the Lincoln Community Hall every Friday, preparing and distributing weekend meals to students, seniors and families who might need a little extra help right now.

The program has seen an increase in families and meals served since it began. In the first week, the program helped 17 families. The second week rose to 34 families. The third week rose to 42 families, and this past week 52 families were helped. In terms of meal counts, the program is putting out anywhere between 120-160 meals per week.

If you know of anyone needing meals, please call Tiana at 362-4444 or Tammy at 633-0073. All requests are kept confidential.
