LISBON – Members of the Lisbon Community School student council participated in an out-of-the classroom learning opportunity on Dec. 20.
Thanks to the assistance of Mrs. Carol Day, co-director of The Lisbon Area Christian Outreach program, students along with LCS assistant principal/student council adviser, Ryan Patrie, and community resource coordinator, Monica Millhime, were given a tour of the Marion T. Morse Community Building at 16 School St. in Lisbon Falls. Students are embarking on a series of community visits around Lisbon as part of their student council regularly scheduled after-school meetings.
Day shared that the food pantry is open to anyone in need who resides in the towns of Bowdoin, Durham and Lisbon. LACO food pantry operates through the generous giving of local volunteers from seven area churches. Hours of operation are Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon and Saturdays from 8 to 10 a.m. Residents wishing to visit the food pantry for assistance are asked to fill out an application and must show two forms of identification, a photo ID (i.e. driver’s license) and a utility bill, etc., providing proof of address.
Students in the Lisbon community have supported the food panty with food drives throughout the school year and assist with stocking and organizing.
The clothing bank is open to anyone free of charge. Donations of clothing or bedding can be dropped off when the clothing bank and food pantry are open. Items also may be left in the plastic bins outside the entrance to the food pantry and clothing bank at the rear of the MTM Center. Fall and winter clothing items are currently being accepted.
