What's under a tree? So that kids around town and our neighbors have a merrier holiday, we're asking for help collecting traditional holiday gifts like: new hats and mittens, cozy socks for kids and adults, new toys for kids of all ages, craft kits and games for families, pajamas and read-aloud books, hoodies for kids and teens, shampoo and hygiene items, and spices for the food pantry. Grocery and retail cards as well as gifts to the Keep Our Neighbors Warm fuel fund or our Neighbors Helping Neighbors fund are also very much appreciated.
Project GRACE and several others around town held food drives to benefit the Scarborough Food Pantry in response to threats to SNAP food benefits this November. The concern for our neighbors was heartwarming, timely and very much appreciated. Many thanks to everyone who brought a box, a can, a bag of food, or grocery gift card!! A special thanks to The Enclave for hosting our annual "Fixings Food Drive" on November 8ths, and to the Scarborough Public Library for sharing their space for a community food drive on November 15th. Many thanks also to all the volunteers and VIPS who lent a helping hand. More than 125 families showed up at the library! We filled two pick up trucks, a giant SUV, and a couple of hatchbacks with food! More than 200 fully loaded grocery bags of quality food for the pantry (and some pet food, too!) Plus about $1,500 in gift cards and cash donations. So much generosity. Thank you!
Please save the date! The Maine POPS holiday benefit concert is on December 14th, and we're honored to be one of the beneficiaries of this joyous event.
