Man has truck, will travel to help out Teen Challenge and veterans home

Bill Lynn is one of Teen Challenge of Mid America's favorite people. For about a year he's been driving a truck up to St. Louis to pick up bread for the residents and staff involved in the longterm residential Christian program that ministers to men with drug, alcohol and other addictions in Cape Girardeau.

On Friday he takes the truck to pick up donations from community members who stock the Teen Challenge Thrift Store with items they no longer use.

Lynn said, "I feel like I kind of owe something to the community. I like to do something good for the community and the guys out at Teen Challenge."

Lynn also volunteers at the veterans home. He delivers ice water and mail to the residents on Thursdays. He said he sticks around and talks to the guys who want to talk. Lynn has been volunteering at the veterans home for two years.
