Northeast Bank a true gem

To the Editor:

The Buckfield Food Pantry would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to the Northeast Bank, Buckfield branch for their tremendous effort on the behalf of the food pantry and the community.

In November, the employees held a month-long food drive at the bank, collecting bags and boxes of non-perishable food items. On top of that, on a cold and windy Saturday afternoon, they drove from house to house in town, collecting even more food for the pantry.

By the end of the month, they had collected almost a ton of food!

You can imagine what a blessing this amount of food has been to the pantry. We were able to restock our shelves in anticipation of a long, cold winter with many of our friends and families needing the extra help getting nourishing food.

The people of Buckfield are always so generous when its needed, and their willingness to donate so many pounds of food for the pantry is very appreciated.Thank you, thank you, to a wonderful group of people who again showed their commitment to this town and its residents.
