Cherished Ones serves final meals on Saturday

The dinner crowd was gone and it was cleanup time. That’s when Terry Hannon grabbed a mop Saturday night. He swung it back and forth, taking small steps as he went. The 92-year-old stopped and glanced around. This would be his last time cleaning the floor at 401 N. Second St. After more than two decades, the soup kitchen operated by Cherished Ones Ministries was closed. Hannon, a trustee of about 10 years for the nonprofit, believes it made a difference.
