Fort Wayne, Ind. –  Effective Thursday, March 26, the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department will be making a location change for dinner service to school children. As a response to a decreased demand due to Indiana’s stay-at-home order, and the need for Community Harvest Food Bank to focus on other local efforts to provide food to citizens in need during this crisis, dinners will now be served only at McMillen Park Community Center from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday as supplies allow.
