Ebenezer Baptist Church has traditionally offered free meals through its Feed the Hungry program several times a month.
But during the coronavirus pandemic, the congregation, at 701 N. Lime St., expanded the program to several times a week.
Unfortunately, the refrigerator at the church broke down recently. And of course, the grocery bill exploded.
Ebenezer knew where to turn: the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lancaster, 538 W. Chestnut St., which has a grant program â the Walters Trust â to help local congregations in need.
