MONMOUTH — In a grassroots effort, with cans in stores and friends on Facebook, raffled quilts and alumni basketball games, home-baked pies and letters of help, a group called Families Helping Families is seeking donations to the Town of Monmouth Fuel Assistance for distribution to families in need of this assistance.
Winter’s not quite half over so during the next two months there will be events and happenings in Monmouth for the express purpose of helping the fuel assistance program for the town.
Donations can be sent to Town of Monmouth Fuel Assistance, PO Box 270, Monmouth, ME 04259.

Quilt raffle tickets are being sold at several Monmouth events. Donation cans are in various places in town. Volunteers are invited to help with this.
All money collected will be distributed by the Monmouth Town Office.
