Here are the top three stories in Manchester today:

1. Meals on Wheels of Hillsborough County will be expanding to South Main Street. The nonprofit will be moving into the location formerly occupied by New England Ice Cream. Meals on Wheels has plans to reopen the restaurant as part of its Dine Out Club program, which provides meals for people 60 and older. The organization is planning to sell other buildings and consolidate operations at the Manchester site. (Yahoo News)
2. This weekend, Missy's Closet is offering free prom dresses during its annual "Say Yes to the Dress" event. Missy's Closet was created in memory of Melissa Charbonneau, who was killed as a result of domestic violence in 2009. Charbonneau's parents started the foundation to serve the community and girls in need. The pop-up event will take place at TJ Max plaza on March Ave. (WMUR)
3. Down the road in Nashua, the Nashua Arts Center held its ribbon-cutting ceremony last Saturday. The facility features a 750-seat theater and will host plays, concerts, and family events, including Symphony New Hampshire's 100th-anniversary concert, which is scheduled to take place later in April.
