To the Editor:
Once again, residents of the Bethel area and visitors to the annual HarvestFest have helped raise funds to address hunger locally and around the world.
One in five children in Maine is food insecure, or is not sure they will have enough to eat every day. To help these families, the West Parish Congregational Church works with others to raise money through the CROP walk. This year more than $2000 was donated. This can be used to buy almost $20,000 in food through regional and world food banks.
Nutritious meals will be supplied to the SAD 44 backpack program. As well, funds will help the UCC World Services Program as they provide aid to those in Haiti in need of food and shelter after the earthquake there.
Many thanks to all those with generous hearts who donated!
