Mon, 11/18/2019 - 8:30am

St. Philip’s Help Yourself Shelf Food Pantry, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, will be hosting its Thanksgiving week pantry day on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 4:30 to 6 p.m., for a ‘grab and go’ event. Components of a Thanksgiving meal will be the major offerings.

Special thanks to Wiscasset Rod and Gun Club, Wiscasset Elementary School, the town of Wiscasset, First Congregational Church of Wiscasset, Big Al, and all others who generously donate items and funds to aid the pantry’s objective of supporting food insecure people’s ability to have a happy and delicious Thanksgiving experience.

In anticipation of the Christmas holiday season, the Shelf is gathering new and gently used toys focused on, but not limited to, outdoor activities to help pantry attendees provide presents for their families. To aid this effort, send monetary donations to St. Philip’s, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, ME 04578, call the church at 882-7184 for more information, or drop off the items clearly identified for the Help Yourself Shelf Christmas pantry prior to the Dec. 19 pantry, when the items will be disbursed.
