Community Gourmet Care Packages for Elder Community Members

Monday, December 4 – Friday, December 22. The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library in partnership with The Community Gourmet will be collecting food items as part of the Care packages that will be distributed over the holidays. Working with local law enforcement, Southern Maine Agency on Aging, The Center, food pantries, and local churches, these care packages are distributed at no cost to the people receiving them. The Library will also have a card-making station where folks can make custom holiday cards to include in the packages. These packages contain items such as the following: small meals like tuna fish, chicken packets, soup and crackers, macaroni and cheese cups, beef stew, peanut butter and jelly packets, oatmeal, Carnation Instant Breakfast, cereal, dry milk, Belvita cookies, fruit bars, Lorna Doones, Fig Newtons. These items can be placed in the baskets that will be around the holiday tree in the children’s room upstairs at the Library from Monday, December 4 through Friday, December 22. Together we can help our community friends by making food available to them through the love and support of everyone.

The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport. For further information, please call 967-2778 or visit our website at www.graveslibrary.org.
