AUGUSTA – Six Maine State Visitor Information Centers are participating in the Maine Tourism Association’s annual food drive, which continues through Nov. 21.
The MTA operates the centers on behalf of the state. MTA is asking for donations of canned and nonperishable food. Each Visitor Center partners with a local food pantry, and the centers serve as collection spots, and deliver the donations to the food pantries. The centers are open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., seven days a week.
“In 2020, our visitor center managers created this annual food drive to assist with pandemic hardships,” CEO Tony Cameron said. “People are still struggling – now with high food, fuel, and other cost of living prices. This is one way the Maine Tourism Association can help our communities. I’m truly appreciative of how dedicated our staff is to their region and the state.”
