After autumn rains postponed the first groundbreaking ceremony, a happy crowd of volunteers and supporters were blessed with a spring-like afternoon last Wednesday, Oct. 5, to break ground on the new Machias Food Pantry.

“I just want to acknowledge the people who have helped along the way and the volunteers,” said Machias Food Pantry Interim Board President Lynn Gibson. “I appreciate everyone coming today, and we’re thankful for all of the donors who have helped us raise money.”
