The Festival of Wreaths, a raffle-benefit for Winslow Community Cupboard food pantry, will be held from noon-8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 24, and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 25, at Winslow Congregational Church, 12 Lithgow St.
Admission to the event is a $1 donation. Raffle tickets cost 50 cents each. Food and beverages will be available for sale and there will be a special appearance by Santa Claus.
Featuring more than 50 Christmas and holiday wreaths, the raffle-benefit will seek to raise urgently needed funds for the food pantry, which has served more than 20,087 food-insecure households in Winslow, Waterville, and surrounding towns so far in 2023.
According to Operations Manager Bruce Bottiglierie, Winslow Community Cupboard, which also operates a Mobile Food Pantry that directly serves locations in Waterville, Skowhegan, Fairfield, and more than a dozen other local towns, has experienced a 39 percent increase in the number of households needing food-pantry service this year. The Festival of Wreaths is sponsored by Healthy Northern Kennebec.
