The chamber is currently collecting money and food donations to provide as many meals as possible. Last year it helped more than 200 families enjoy a warm home-cooked dinner during holiday season, thanks to the great support of area businesses, individuals and volunteers.
Visit the chamber office at 615 Wilton Road or find the donation form online at www.franklincountymaine.org.
Donations of non-perishable food are also being accepted at the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce. Money and food donations will be accepted until4 p.m. Dec. 7.
Applications for the holiday food baskets are available at the chamber office or online at www.franklincountymaine.org and must be submitted by 2 p.m. Nov. 30. Applications will be reviewed by the food basket committee and granted based on eligibility and availability.
