As we approach the holidays and what appears to be a time of greater food insecurity, especially in our rural communities we are working to do what we can to keep people fed.
We are running a holiday food drive raffle, $5 per ticket or $20 for 5 tickets- must be a patient to win an the prize bag is insane. 100% of dollars raised goes to filling the food cupboards outside the libraries in New Portland and Kingfield, and helping local food banks as much as possible.
There will be a tote at the shop starting this Tuesday for non-perishables. 10 non perishables earns a raffle ticket, we’ll give you a card to keep track of your tickets earned.
We’ve also heard from who is offering to help 10 different families this Thanksgiving with a smoked turkey. will be helping Smoked and SLC fill said baskets. If you would like to contribute specifically to the baskets, you can drop items at either the shop or the dance studio. We need the fixings for 10 Turkey Day dinners.
This brings me to my most important point of this post- if you or anyone you know needs help with food, please reach out privately. We don’t care about anything other than helping as many people as we can. Everyone needs a little help sometimes, and this year probably more than ever. Communities stand strong when we lift up our neighbors.
