Since mid-March, communities across the country have been grappling with many of the challenges associated with COVID-19, including food security. During this time, Sunday River has supplied over 6,000 meals to people in need throughout the greater Bethel region and has donated funds to help keep the shelves of the Bethel Food Pantry stocked. Now through Giving Tuesday on December 1, 2020, the Maine ski area will match up to $5,000 in cash donations to the Bethel Food Pantry to help continue to feed the community through the winter months.
“During times of crisis, we look to our community for support. We are fortunate that in addition to our community members that live here year-round, there are many people far and wide who care about this region and want to help.”
– Dave Bean, a Gould Academy teacher who leads the food pantry’s efforts
