Thanks to its new location at the former Hedges School, a Mount Vernon mission has twice as much room for patrons.
At The Cross Mission has moved from its spot at the corner of Main and Third streets to the Hedges building and instead of seating 40 people, the mission's dining area now seats 80.
At The Cross serves free meals to anyone four nights a week — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday — 5-7 p.m.
