CHA SUPPORTING DUG · THE DENOMINATION'S OWN HISTORY
One more piece of the town's charity stands in a source this section opened for another purpose: Walkerton United Methodist Church serves a free hot meal every Wednesday to an average of 120 people a week. The denomination's published history of its Indiana churches carries the Walkerton entry whole: beside the Wednesday table, the church runs Noah's Ark Preschool (Level 3 certified, working toward Level 4, with four full-time teachers) and a Mobile Pantry distribution — the food charity of the town's largest congregation, running weekly, in the same town where the interchurch pantry distributes monthly. The figures are the congregation's own, printed at that strength; together with the pantry article above they give the leg its true local shape: Walkerton feeds its own through two doors — the churches together on Roosevelt Road, and the Methodists on Wednesdays — and both doors are printed with their keepers' names on them.
