WATERFORD — The first Waterford Summer Breakfast of 2023 on July 4 was a resounding success. Over 350 diners and volunteers were served breakfast at the Wilkins Community House in Waterford. There will be three more breakfasts this summer on Wednesdays, July 19, August 2, and August 16. All are from 7:30-10 a.m. The Wilkins Community House is on Plummer Hill in the Flat of Waterford, adjacent to the Congregational Church.

The breakfast consists of scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, muffins, donut holes juice, coffee, tea, and real Maine maple syrup.

Volunteers are always welcome.  For more information about volunteering, contact Ginny at WilkinsHouse1797@gmail.com.

Begun 69 years ago, the 4th of July celebration this year included, in addition to the breakfast, a parade, the Waterford Library Book Sale, the Waterford Historical Society open house at two local venues, and vendors in the Wilkins parking lot and on the green. The Book Sale will be available in the Wilkins House basement during future breakfasts and vendors will also be available.

Proceeds from the breakfast help with the upkeep of the Wilkins Community House.
