DEAR SUN SPOTS: Lisbon Area Christian Outreach Food Pantry is having an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet Supper on Saturday from 4-6:30 p.m. at the MTM Center on School Street in Lisbon Falls.

The menu includes soup, chowder and chili, salad, homemade bread and rolls, apple, pumpkin and cherry pies and beverages. Tickets are $13 per person in advance or $14 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Lisbon Federal Credit Union in Lisbon.

The pantry fed 39,184 people in 2023, not including children’s programs. We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization in which no one gets paid for what they do. Anyone interested in making a soup, chili or chowder or making a cash donation may call Bert at 207-216-3460. Checks should be made payable to LACO Food Pantry. Thank you for your time and supporting local food pantries. God bless. —Bert, Lisbon

ANSWER: See you there!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m the activities director at Bolster Heights Residential Care Facility and our team would love to put on a prom for our residents.

We’re looking for dresses sizes medium and large (16, 18, 22, and 5X). The dresses don’t have to be prom dresses, just something that looks really nice. Some costume jewelry and feather boas would be wonderful, too. We also need men’s dress shirts and ties.

If you have anything to give, please contact Stacey or Ashley at 784-1364. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you. — Stacey, no town

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Lewiston School Nutrition Program is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided at no charge to children attending school up to 18 years old. Meals are the same for all children who are attending summer programs at the end of the school year during summer months throughout the city of Lewiston.

If you are running a summer program in Lewiston that provides enrichment (educational activities) at a recreation center, playground, church youth group, park, day care center, etc. for school-age children, you may be eligible.

For more information about qualifications for your summer organization or program to participate as a site, please call the Lewiston School Nutrition Program at 795-4106.

If your site is approved, all meals must be eaten at the approved site, because children are not allowed to remove food from the approved site location, such as schools, recreation centers, parks, playgrounds, day care centers, churches, etc. — Jeanie, no town

ANSWER: So many families count on this program for their children. If your school or organization is eligible as a site, please apply!
