Two months ago, Richard Glidewell started the nonprofit organization Gi-Maw's House. Glidewell's late grandmothers, Gigi and Meemaw, served as the inspiration for it. As both the chef and president of the effort, he's already distributed nearly 800 meals. With the help of Hope Church and his close friends, Glidewell is making sure no one in Chiefland goes hungry.
