A special thanks is extended to Roger Hansen and Diane Denk and the Kennebunk and Kennebunkport Democratic Town Committees for their incredibly generous support of a $3,500 sponsorship for the Shelter’s 5k/Walk-A-Thon on May 21, 2011.

Eight-year-old Jacob Favolise (on right) is pictured with his three-year-old sister, Gabriella, and all the food that they donated to the Food Pantry at the Shelter. Jacob is a second-grader at the Margaret Chase Smith School in Sanford and the son of Mark and Annette Favolise.  Jacob thought it would be great to give to people who were not as fortunate as himself.  For his birthday he asked guests to donate money towards the Food Pantry, rather than bring a present.  His family went to the supermarket, purchased many healthy non-perishables and filled their car with food donations

for the York County Shelter Program’s Food Pantry. He also contributed some money from his bank account for food. Thank you Jacob and the Favolise family for your incredible generosity!

another GS Troop about how they went to the Shelter's Wish

List to find out what they needed and what the Shelter does.

One scene was at the Shelter with a family.

Thank you Kristie Hurlburt and Alfred Brownie

Troop 963!

Hats off to Alfred Brownie Troop 963 under the leadership of Kristie Hurlburt.  This past spring they noticed that there was a request for spring-like mugs for Shaker Hill Kitchens.  As a community service project for the Shelter

they painted beautiful mugs and donated them to the

Shelter.
