The holidays are really about the people we’re with. What’s in your glass doesn’t matter nearly as much as who’s around the table.

Alcohol-free celebrations are becoming more common, and for good reason: everyone can join in, feel good, and actually 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. From festive mocktails to cozy movie nights, cookie swaps, or game nights with friends, there are so many ways to make the season special without alcohol.

You don’t need a drink to make a moment meaningful.

To every neighbor who has shared a meal with us this month, and to every neighbor who has shown up to help- we would love to see you this Sunday.

We're hosting our 💗🍲 last free community meal 🍲💗 in this configuration on Sunday, November 30th at 5:30 pm at High Street Congregational Church, UCC, 106 Pleasant Street in Auburn.

If you need a warm meal or a smile, or if you’ve been a part of these meals in any way, please come. This night is for all of us to gather, enjoy good food and music, and share a meal together. Your presence has made these dinners what they are, and it wouldn’t be the same without you.

Hope to see you there. 💛

This week’s schedule:

📌 Wed, Nov 26 – CLOSED (Thanksgiving prep)
📌 Thurs, Nov 27 – To-go meals from 1–3 pm at 884 Lisbon St (The Lunch Table)
📌 Fri, Nov 28 – CLOSED
📌 Sat, Nov 29 – CLOSED (prepping for Sunday)
📌 Sun, Nov 30 – Celebration meal with music by Greg & Jessie Boardman, 5:30 pm at 106 Pleasant St, High Street Congregational Church, Auburn

The holidays are busy, fun, and… let’s be honest, sometimes a little overwhelming. It’s easy to celebrate with a few extra drinks, but even small amounts of alcohol can mess with your sleep and make it harder for your body to fight off colds.

This year, think about finding your “sipping point.” Maybe that means choosing a mocktail, alternating with water, or deciding to skip the drink altogether. Your body (and your energy) will thank you and you’ll enjoy more of the moments that really matter. 🤍

The SNAP-Ed team at Healthy Androscoggin was thrilled to help support We Feed Us at The Lunch Table with a major nutrition donation this past week. They prepare and serve hundreds of take-away meals five nights a week, and their impact is felt across our entire community.

Becca and Rachel had the chance to meet Bronwynne and Sarah, who work tirelessly to coordinate this incredible program and make sure families have access to fresh, nourishing food. We’re grateful for the partnership and for their kind words:

From We Feed Us Lewiston/Auburn:
“Huge thanks to for their generosity this week. Rachel reached out and offered to help us shop our grocery list and they CAME thru! ❤️ Thank you, neighbors.”
