The charity that is a trifle to us can be precious to others ”“ Homer.
The food pantry’s view of Homer’s phrase could be said as follows: The extended hand here offering a can of beans may mean a meal to the one receiving it. Those extended hands of help here mentioned belong to people such as: Leeward Landing Thrift Store, Patriot Subaru of Saco, Cardullo Properties, C.K. Burns School PTO, Marian Orr, Michael and Jerri Sheldon, Dale and Lynn Siulinski, Margaret Grant, Andre and Joan Poisson, Mary Antonowicz, John Klingensmith, Leeward Landing Thrift Store, Saco Shaw’s, Saco Hannaford, Sure Winner Foods, Ann Marie Kenney, Joy Elsner, Sao Book Discussion Group, Anne King, Fran Halamandaris, Sylvia Searle, Valerie Scanlon, Richard and Patrice Tripp, Mary Rachel Bernier, Ron and Rachel Bolduc, Town and Country FCU, Joan Martel, Ron and Patti Harwood, Joseph and Doris Buonomo, Dorothy Jarry, Al and Bernadette Coulombe, Active Chiropractic, Carolyn Schofield, Florence Lock, Barbara Boutet,, Stephen and Grete Palermo, Germaine Dumas, Doris Ewing, Grace Lashua, Roger and Mary Ann Martin, Alice Finnegan, Stan and Mary Tucker, and Richard and Veronica Sheehan.
We thank all at our houses of worship: Trinity Episcopal, First Parish and North Saco Congregational, Unitarian , Cornerstone Methodist, Bible and United Baptist, Most Holy Trinity, St. Demetrious and St. Augustine Churches.
We also thank Sure Winner Foods, Shaw’s Saco, Saco Hannaford, Hair Works, Fernleaf Bakery, Little Wonders Day Care, our anonymous friends standing in the shadows and this newspaper.
As we stand to honor Ken and Heidi Byrd we humbly bow our heads in remembrance of Lorrain Howard and Gloria Schwickrath. To all here for that meal not missed, on behalf of the volunteers who work in your stead, the clients we serve and me we say thank you and God bless.
