Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce Presents Checks to Local Organizations
|
|
The Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and Hannaford will present checks to Bucksport Community Concerns and the MLS Friday Food Program on
Friday, December 14 at 1:10pm at the Miles Lane School located at 52 Miles Lane in Bucksport.
In October, the Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce held the 10th Annual Ghostport event downtown which includes the “Jonathan Buck’s Race to the Grave” coffin race. Employees from Hannaford in Bucksport competed against two other teams and secured the first place spot, allowing them to donate a check co-sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank and PCT Communications to the charity organization of their choice.
Hannaford selected the Miles Lane School Friday Food Program. This program provides snacks and meals to MLS students over the weekend and holiday breaks, free of charge. The approximate cost of a bag, per week, per student is $5. Store Manager, Eric Breton has pledged to match the check provided by the Chamber totaling the contribution of $1,000 to the MLS Friday Food Program.
In addition, this year at Tozier’s Turkey Trail the Chamber collected donations to help the Bucksport Community Concerns food pantry as they have experienced continuous flooding this season and endured many unexpected expenses. Leslie Wombacher, Executive Director will present Bucksport Community Concerns with the proceeds from that event.
