From Gorham Food Pantry

The Gorham Food Pantry drive-through food drive on Oct. 24 collected 1,270 pounds of goods and $1,745 in cash to support its mission of feeding Gorham residents.

Girl Scout Troop Leader Betsy Nygren and her scouts decorated and donated Thanksgiving boxes complete with everything needed for a wonderful holiday meal. 

 Donations were sorted and weighed by board members and volunteers to be packed into individual holiday boxes for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 The Gorham Food Pantry is available to any Gorham resident. Residents should visit during pantry hours with proof of residency, such as a utility bill with name and  Gorham address on it – not a drivers’ license.

The best way to keep up-to-date on Pantry happenings and current needs is to follow them on Facebook – Gorham Food Pantry Friends. Messages via Facebook are responded to quickly. 

 Current needs during the month of November are:  baked beans, canned pasta sauce (small), canned sweet potatoes, jarred turkey or beef gravy.
