Drive-thru 'Turkey Stewfest' to raise money for Good Shepherd Food Bank
Portsmouth Herald
WELLS, Maine — Congdon's Family Restaurant & Bakery will be serving homemade turkey stew at its drive-thru on Wednesday, Dec. 16 in exchange for a donation to Good Shepherd Food Bank.
In May, Congdon’s teamed with the Maine Masonic Charitable Foundation to host a “Chowderfest” that raised more than $30,000 for Good Shepherd Bank, which provides much-needed food items to thousands of Maine families throughout the state. Food banks throughout the state and country have seen unprecedented demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We thought the need was big back in May, but it’s only gotten worse,” said Gary Leech, who owns Congdon’s along with his wife Diane. “Every dollar goes directly to Good Shepherd Food Bank. They do an amazing job and have been a life-saver for so many Mainers during this difficult time.”
