CLAXTON - Serving nearly 20,000 meals since the beginning of June, Evans County's Summer Food Service Program is one way Nutrition Director Tonya Blocker helps fulfill the needs of the children in her community. The program ended Friday, but actually ran three weeks longer than usual because of the increased number of participants this year, Blocker said. The program sometimes fed 800 to 900 children per day.
