Community center switches free meals to takeout

Due to a rise in cases of COVID-19, the sit-down weekly meal served at Westbrook Community Center will now be distributed as a boxed meal available for takeout from 1-2 p.m. Wednesdays in the parking lot at Trinity Lutheran Church at 612 Main St.

“The fellowship of eating together is sorely missed, and as soon as it is safe to do so, we will once again resume the meal at the community center,” a press release from the church that co-sponsors the meals with Wayside Food Services stated.

For more information, leave a message at the church by calling 854-5653 and someone will return the call.
