1,250 free lunches this summer
By Monty Siekerman
ReStore Community Center provided 1,250 free lunches to Ada area youth at War Memorial Park this year.
A special week was held in June when members of law enforcement, the ambulance service, and the fire department had personnel and equipment on hand to explain their responsibilities to the children.
Fridays was always a popular day because prizes were handed out to all and water activities were available.
This was the fifth year that ReStore provided the lunches. Calvin Fisher has headed up the lunches and activities for the past several years.
ReStore receives donations from several organizations in order to provide the service.
