Tucked into every Noel meal is a card brought to life by our creative volunteer crew. 🎄Thanks to Fred, Addie, Emily and all their friends along with Karen, the Thorton Academy art class, the Kennebunk High School students and countless volunteers who made over 600 cards! 💚❤️

Your beautiful cards will make our Noel Dinner meals even brighter this year. 🌟🎄

A lot of what we’re doing this year is in honor of someone very special. 💚 The 2025 Noel Dinner is dedicated to the loving memory of our founder and longtime Community Harvest Board member, Eva Barnfather. ❤️🎄❤️

Eva passed away earlier this year at the incredible of 103, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, generosity and a youthful spirit. In a heartfelt tribute, her granddaughter and grandson lovingly prepared the soup, carrying Eva’s care and compassion into every bowl. 🥣❄️
