Church raises thousands for heating fuel fund
ELLSWORTH St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church took its annual holiday marketplace online during the pandemic and in the process raised $6,500 to help keep local homes warm.
The market sold everything from placemats, baby clothes and baskets to bakery items such as pies, fudge and breads. Proceeds from the 2020 virtual market exceeded the funds raised from all prior years. The money was donated to the THAW Fund, which is managed by Downeast Community Partners and provides heat and energy assistance based on need, not income.
The church operates under the motto “To love. To pray. To serve.”

Despite the COVID pandemic, we have experienced for the majority of the year, these events have proven that jiu-jitsu athletes are resilient and are able to evolve during adversities. They found a way to keep their skills and competition training relevant. Although we don’t know what 2021 will have in store for us, one thing is for sure, if there are BJJ events, athletes will continue to bring the heat. Now, if they could all end in submission victories – rather than playing into OT – that would just be the icing on the cake.
