SACO — Bella Cowan celebrated her 95th birthday recently at the Inn at Atlantic Heights. Instead of birthday presents, she requested items be donated in honor of the occasion to the Saco Food Pantry.
A longtime supporter of the pantry, she and her son, then-owners of Sam’s Place, donated all the paint needed to refurbish the pantry’s building when it was first occupied in 2003-04.
Pictured at the celebration on Oct. 13, are, from left to right Denise Doyon, Cowan and Saco Food Pantry representative Bob Nichols.
