KENNEBUNK – Back in September, a destructive fire swept through Nest & Mullen, a custom butcher shop with deep roots in Kennebunk.
With a lot of work, the small company on Perkins Lane was back in business a few weeks later, in a temporary building, with the help of others who lent their time, talent and equipment – from an excavator to refrigerated trucks – and others who provided space and more.
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.”
