The Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry on the Bucksport Road in Ellsworth feeds more people than you'd imagine. Hundreds of the less fortunate Downeast depend on the donated food there.  Here's your opportunity to help out!

The Grand Auditorium of Hancock County will hold a special event on Friday, November 6th, it's called "Fill Every Seat!"

The goal is to fill every seat there, all 480 of them, with a bag of donated food!

The doors to the Grand will be open starting on Tuesday the 3rd, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.  Simply walk in anytime between Tuesday and Friday night at 6 and drop off your donation! Make sure that you look inside the auditorium to watch the seats fill up with generosity!

Gail Thompson, Executive Director of The Grand explains, “The people of Ellsworth and the surrounding towns care deeply for those who are less fortunate. Partnering with Loaves and Fishes is a way The Grand can give back by filling the theater with food instead of entertainment on this day.”

Loaves and Fishes is looking especially for holiday cupboard items such as cans of pumpkin or cranberry sauce, stuffing mixes, canned hams, and soups, in addition to the usual items. No outdated food will be accepted.
