SKOWHEGAN — The Hight Family of Dealerships, the Bankery and Skowhegan Fleuriste teamed up to recognize first responders the first week of December by providing a holiday meal. Together the businesses delivered 70 turkey pies, 42 dozen rolls and 22 dozen cupcakes to 15 agencies across Somerset and Franklin counties.
In recognition of the fact that many first responders are working to keep communities safe during the holidays and can’t always spend holidays with family, the Hights partnered with the Bankery to deliver turkey pies so they would have a Thanksgiving meal.
Chief David Bucknam from the Skowhegan Police Department said, “I think it’s fantastic that our business owners here, number one have a great respect for the police officers here that are working on their behalf. We’re always doing whatever we can to help our business owners and for them to come down and give a little slap on the back and say thank you, that means a million bucks.”
Somerset County Sheriff Dale Lancaster said, “The deputies of the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office appreciate the generosity, kind gesture and thoughtfulness. The lunch provided by the Hights and prepared by the Bankery was delicious.”
Sam Hight, dealer principal at Hight Ford, said, “We are so fortunate to live in a community with many agencies focused on our health and safety and the common good. This is just a small way of saying thank you, whether it’s turkey pies and rolls or just a thank you we can all do our best to help our neighbors and support each other. We are so thankful to have friends and business partners like Matt and the Bankery who are always willing to team up and provide happiness and cheer in the local area.”
The businesses also delivered meals to fire departments, paramedics, and dispatchers as far as Rangeley.
“It was such a pleasant surprise to come into work at Somerset County Dispatch, and see the turkey pies, rolls and cupcakes for Thanksgiving,” said Beth Moninski, of Somerset County Dispatch. “We are often forgotten at dispatch for all that we do, especially night shift. And I wanted to thank you for being so kind and getting this food to us for the holiday week.”
