Community Food Pantries Receive Support From Local Bank Initiative

This can be a difficult time for families, what with trying to heat our homes, buy groceries and provide holiday gifts to loved ones. Unfortunately we all know families who are just making ends meet, and some who aren't.

If you are in a position to help food insecurity by making a cash donation to one of the following 5 food pantries, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust will match your donation, up to a total of $1000 for donations made between December 1st and 12th.

The local food pantries which are the beneficiary of this pledge are

·Bar Harbor Food Pantry (Bar Harbor)
Common Good Soup Kitchen (Southwest Harbor)
Emmaus Homeless Shelter (Ellsworth)
Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry (Ellsworth)
Schoodic Food Pantry (Gouldsboro)

“The unfortunate reality is that food insecurity affects too many of our neighbors, and recent events have made this clearer than ever,” said Jack Frost, VP Director of Community Giving at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. It is an honor for us to be able to make this pledge, and hope the community will join us in donating to a local food pantry this holiday season. ”
