Norway Savings Bank does a whole lot more than just dealing with money in the Gorham community. In January, the local bank will hold a food drive for the Gorham Food Pantry.

It’s common for families and individuals to donate goods during the holiday season, but much less in the following months. While the holidays are busy and particularly difficult for many people, there are also struggles in the New Year. The need for help and outside support is still great, if not greater as the cold winter approaches.

A similar food drive for the Gorham Food Pantry was held back in November with promising results. Those who either missed that last opportunity or are hoping to contribute again are encouraged to donate food items.

Able participants have a couple options for delivering these items. Norway Savings Bank will be an optional drop-off location; however people can also choose to bring food straight to the food pantry by St. Anne’s Church. This is where the Gorham Food Pantry is based and has worked to help Gorham residents for over 25 years. They aim to serve the needs of hungry folks in the community with supplemental food, and events like this certainly help with those efforts. This event is being organized and overseen by Norway Savings Bank employee, Katlyn Doughty.

“We are always in need of canned soups, boxed macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, canned vegetables, and other shelf stable items,” shares Jan MacLeod, Gorham Food Pantry team member. Keep the holiday spirit going into the New Year and consider supporting this event through Norway Savings Bank.
