United Way Of Greater Portland

We speak with Liz Cotter Schlax President and CEO, United Way of Greater Portland about their ongoing Community Campaign Kickoff Week.
 
Tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., United Way of Greater Portland will host a drive-thru food drive at Wayside Food Programs @ 135 Walton St in Portland
 
Donations will benefit food pantries throughout Cumberland County to aid ongoing food insecurity and access for individuals and families. To ensure the safety of all participants, the drive-thru food drive will be contactless. Neighbors dropping off bags and boxes of food and non-perishable items can put donations in their trunk or backseat, and volunteer will grab them for you.
 
Companies, individuals, groups, and more are welcome to contribute and drive thru as we join together (though 6 feet apart) to make a difference in our community.
 
You can go to www.unitedwaygp.org to donate and look at the complete list of all the events happening for the rest of the week.
