Betsy Bricker, left, Ryan Schwartz and Amanda Ruest of the John F. Murphy Homes Life Center on Minot Avenue in Auburn pick up meals to go Thursday at the Trinity Jubilee Center on Bates Street in Lewiston. Volunteers from JFM help deliver meals every Wednesday and Thursday to people who are not able to make it to the Trinity soup kitchen for a hot meal. “Most of the deliveries are to elderly people,” Trinity Executive Director Erin Reed said. “They just can’t get here, but they still need to eat.” Bricker, Schwartz and Ruest delivered meals to 20 people Thursday. “The community has been very kind to us, so we would like to return the favor,” JFM volunteer leader Kim Redmun said.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
