Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program
Maine has not escaped the latest surge of the COVID-19 virus. We pray for those who have lost loved ones and for those who have family members in the hospital. We also pray for those struggling to pay for housing, medicine and to put food on their tables, even more so as government aid has lapsed. The last is something we can help with. MCHPP has to buy some of their food to support their mission. Please send a check in any amount to help them feed those who face a situation they have no control over. Make your check out to MCHPP, 12 Tenney Way, Brunswick, ME 04011
