CRYSTAL LAKE – Every Sunday for the past 10 years, Scott Goodwin has headed into First United Methodist Church to begin preparing a meal for the Community Dinner.

Every Sunday, the amateur chef has cooked for those less fortunate or anyone looking for a free meal.

Every Sunday, Goodwin meets Elyce Meador, who started the weekly Community Dinner, a childhood dream of hers after seeing poverty firsthand on a trip overseas with her father, a pastor. Meador started the dinner to offer a free, warm meal to the homeless.
