500000th free meal served at diner Wichita
The Lord's Diner in Wichita served its 500000th free meal last Sunday. Executive director Wendy Glick notes the crowd now mostly includes families with jobs struggling to make ends meet, far exceeding initial crowd estimates. The diner averages about 400 meals nightly, with August the busiest month at over 13,200 fed. Expansion added space for dry goods and a new freezer. The operation relies on more than 5,000 volunteers and 3,000 donors, with a $500,000 annual budget and few paid staff.
