Phyllis Carter, left, and Eric Fitch, both of Toledo, in the dining room. Lunch is served at St. Paul's Community Center in Toledo, Ohio on June 22. St. Paul's and the Cherry Street Mission are combining their community lunches in an effort to better serve Toledo's homeless and disabled residents. The new kitchen at 105 17th St., a few blocks from the two current feeding centers, will allow people to learn culinary skills while serving people in the community. It is a joint project with Connecting Kids to Meals, formerly Feed Lucas County Children, so those in training can prepare and distribute meals to area children.
