Happy/Sad dollars and fines for November are going to Thanksgiving baskets. Here is some information on the project:
The MDI Thanksgiving Basket Project is an annual community-wide effort to provide all the fixings for a turkey dinner to those in need. Order forms are available at the Bar Harbor Food Pantry, the MDI Housing Authority, and the Westside Food Pantry. Last year, a record-breaking 258 households received a bounty of turkey/chicken dinners including fresh and canned vegetables, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fresh-baked pies, and more. Food was collected at area banks and schools, donated by local business people, and sorted and packed by more than 100 volunteers of all ages. Donations are sought to help to defray the expenses of food purchases including the turkey and chicken, as well as canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, and more.
Thanks,
