Loaves and Fishes Needs Donations for Thanksgiving

November is a time to give thanks, and to remember all of our blessings. For as long as I have lived in Maine, I have been astonished at Mainer's generosity and their willingness to help their fellow Mainers in time of need.

The Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry in Ellsworth is asking for donations to help their food pantry clients to have a Happy Thanksgiving. They are providing food to 400 to 450 families on a weekly basis.

They are looking for the following

Turkeys of all sizes
Boxes or bags of stuffing
Canned corn and green beans
Cans of cranberry sauce
Pies of any kind
Rolls
Jars or cans of gravy

Donations may be dropped off at Loaves and Fishes 137 Downeast Highway (Route 1 North, next to Darling's Chevrolet), on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Turkeys for Food Pantry clients will be available on Wednesday, November 20th, Friday, November 22nd and Monday, November 25th.
