CHRISTOPHER, IL –  (Ashley Smith, WSIL-TV.  Please click on the link for the full story and video.  Here is an excerpt below.)

Kids in Christopher are eating lunch for free this summer, thanks to a grant. But that program was going to be cut short until a local church stepped into help.

Heather Little and Sandy Young prepare to feed hungry kids and adults in Christopher.

This week was the first time they served the summer meals at Christopher First Baptist Church.

“We’re picking up those kids in the Christian Church van, they’re delivering them to the First Baptist Church where they’re gonna get fed by the grant program by the Christopher Elementary School,” says Matt Crain, pastor of Christopher First Baptist Church . “The community working together.”
