Facing shortfall, Wiscasset nonprofit farm trust pleads for donations The Times Record Share Forced to cancel fundraising events and programming in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Morris Farm in Wiscasset is experiencing a $30,000 shortfall and is relying on its endowment funds in order to support its operations until able to once again fully open for the public. “Morris Farm Trust is focused on agriculture, education and the community,” Madelyn Hennessey, the trust’s chairperson, said in a news release. “We have always been in need of public support, but the pandemic erased all our best-laid plans, as it has for most non-profits. Despite severe limitations on what we can safely do – our buildings still need to be maintained. Our utility bills still need to be paid. We still want to be able to provide free fresh produce to local families. All that takes money. And, without it, we have very few options.”
