Monthly Boxes from the Food Pantry T he pandemic continues to redefine need – particularly for many who continue to find ways to minimize exposure and juggle mainland errands. Need isn’t just about economics – but about time, capacity, and access. The food pantry will be making monthly boxes available –to help address some of this need. In addition, we remain committed to providing for those experiencing food insecurity and for those who are making meals for people in need of community support. Email chebundance@gmail. com or contact Denise Hamilton for more info! A new sign is in the works! Soon, we will have installed a new sign with our new name. Within the next few weeks, the old one will come down to be carefully measured, dried and cleaned and made ready to accept an insert that represents our future.

We’re so grateful for the wide community support of the Chebeague Community Church this year especially – we made a big step in becoming a church that welcomes all, no strings attached – and that happened because of the many folks who stepped in with their time, financial gifts, and hopes and dreams. Thank you so much for giving us a strong foundation as we move forward together.
