Read Article NORWAY — The Maine West initiative is challenging people across the Oxford Hills, greater Bethel and River Valley areas to earn cash rewards for local food pantries by getting outside for healthy activities during the upcoming school vacation week. Starting Friday, Feb. 12, people can sign up for the Second Nature Adventure Challenge and start tracking trail-based winter hikes, walks, cross country ski trips and fat bike rides on Maine Trail Finder, a website that connects people to trails across the state. If 100 area residents sign on and record an activity between Feb. 12 and 21, Maine West will contribute $3,000 to help area food pantries respond to food insecurity driven by the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
