Food pantry donation gives needed boost to nonprofit
BAR HARBOR Dollar for dollar, Greg and Julie Veilleux, owners of Window Panes, matched donations collected at their store during the month of November. Last week, they presented a check for $2,000 to the Bar Harbor Food Pantry.
“We got a great response from the community,” said Julie Veilleux, who added that donations of cash and food were brought into the business from Oct. 31 through Nov. 30.
The business donated some of the food items before Thanksgiving and have “another big bucket of food to drop off” soon, she said.
The Bar Harbor Food Pantry can certainly use those donations, said Jenny Jones, executive director of the food pantry.
