CHILLICOTHE — There wasn’t a long wait to get a free lunch at the Carver Community Center, but after one long folding table was vacated, another group or family was ready to sit down.
On a sweltering summer day, a steady stream of people came through for a smoked sausage sandwich, a vegetable medley and peaches from a can. As the kitchen opened, head cook Cheryl Hitchens just had finished preparing 300 meals to send out to area summer youth programs.
As she showed off the kitchen, a volunteer interrupted. One of the schools needed five more.
The demand just grows, Hitchens said. On average, the center will serve about 3,000 meals each month to low-income people.
