Hunger tour benefits food pantry
The 10th annual Maine Credit Unions’ Ending Hunger Walking Tour made stops in 10 communities, including Gorham, on Nov. 10.
In Cumberland County, the tour stopped in Cumberland, Falmouth, Gorham, Gray, Naples, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland, Westbrook and Windham. A food pantry in each community received a check for $110 each (commemorative of this being the tour’s 10th year), which can purchase more than $1,500 in food through the Good Shepherd Food Bank.
