It is with deep sadness that I share that a very sweet, generous, hardworking and talented gardening friend passed away last week. She would not want her name shouted to to the world, but I'm sure she'd be ok with me sharing a recent memory of her in hopes it will inspire you to add a random act of kindness to your "to do list".

Less than two weeks ago this thoughtful lady called looking for some help with harvesting her produce this season. She shared that she was having health issues and would like to have her wonderful food end up on someone's plate. She did not lead on about how bad her situation was and soon passed away shortly after we found some volunteers to commit to gleaning her crops. Please consider honoring the memory of this special lady by doing something kind for another person. Do what you can and enjoy the feeling of doing something good - share a bundle of flowers, a bag of freshly harvested beans, or simply an extra smile.

The United Way of Eastern Maine has teamed up with USPS to put on the annual NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) Food Drive. We are looking for volunteers in the Bangor area to assist with picking up donations on Saturday, May 9th, from 7:30am - 1pm. Volunteers will work in teams of two, with a driver and a "jumper", to pick up food on a pre-determined route. A working vehicle is necessary, however please be aware that we are unable to reimburse for mileage. If you are interested, or know others who may be, please contact me for further details at [email protected] or 207-941-2800, ext.223.
