Feeding the hungry is a labor of love. GIFT food pantry and its dedicated volunteers do this each week here in Central Aroostook County. It's a task for big hearted, kind, and compassionate folks like our volunteer director, Charlene Buzza. She's been in that role for 7 years. She's ready to step down to rest and enjoy her family. GIFT needs YOU to step up to take her place. If you'd like more information about what this might entail, please call the Chair of the Board, Maylen Kenny, at 207 764-1787 or Charlene at 207 769-5301. Please share this post to help find the right person for this role!

If you're fortunate, today you get to take a break from your labors, you can rest, recuperate and enjoy the day with family and friends. Our longtime volunteer director, Charlene Buzza, is looking forward to doing these things more often after dedicating many, many years of labor to ensure that food was collected, stored, and distributed to people in Central Aroostook who experience food insecurity. She says it has been a labor of love, but she's ready to step DOWN at the end of 2021. If you have any interest in stepping UP to take her place, please contact the Chair of the Board, Maylen Kenny, at 207 764-1787 or Charlene Buzza at 207 769-5301.
