Winslow Community Cupgoard is February shopping bag donation recipient

WINSLOW — For the month of February, Winslow Community Cupboard food pantry will get a $1 donation from each purchase of the $2.50 reusable “Fight Hunger” shopping bag at the Hannaford supermarket at 190 Kennedy Memorial Drive, JFK Plaza, Waterville.
Every dollar donated will go directly to assist food-insecure children, seniors, and other adults in Winslow, Waterville, Clinton and Benton — more than 140 families in all, with demand steadily rising. According to Good Shepherd Food Bank and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 13.6 percent of Maine’s households are food insecure, which is nearly 2 percent above the national average.
Those who can’t buy the Hannaford “Fight Hunger” shopping bag, or who want to make a direct donation, may do so by mailing a check payable to “Winslow Community Cupboard” to: Winslow Community Cupboard, 12 Lithgow St., Winslow, ME 04901. Credit card or PayPal donations may be made at winslowucc.org/winslow-community-cupboard.
