For 35 years, Boothbay Region Food Pantry has been helping residents in need, and the number served has grown each decade. The service includes distributing holiday meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
This year’s Christmas baskets were distributed at the pantry Dec. 18 and a few more on Dec. 21. Co-President Fleet Davies reported 120 families received baskets this year, each one put together based on the number of people in the household. The baskets included three side dish recipes: candied yams, split pea soup and creamed spinach, and their major ingredients.
Each family chose either ham and pineapple or chicken, with potatoes, corn, peas, carrots, raisins, brown ’n serve dinner rolls, brownie mix, trail mix, macaroni and cheese, as Davies said, “’cause everyone likes mac ’n cheese”; cans of fruit; spinach, French fried onion rings, boxed milk, applesauce, apples, onions, brown sugar and marshmallows.
