Dear Editor:

To the many people who graciously donated their cans and bottles to the American Legion last year, we thank you. Because of your donations, we were able to donate money to state and local organizations so that they would, in turn, be able to help the community. In 2025, Post 54 donated money to the following: Maine Blind Camp, Help Yourself Shelf, Wiscasset Food Outreach, the Dresden Veteran’s Memorial, Honor Flight Maine, two scholarships for graduating Wiscasset Middle High School seniors, Wreaths Across America, Women’s Veterans Glamping, as well as local families. Without your contributions, none of this would have been able to happen.

We thank you and wish you a great Maine summer.

 Clifford Hendricks, on behalf of Bradford Sortwell Wright American Legion Post 54, Wiscasset
