We put the word out that York County Shelters was looking for a few good turkeys to help feed 1,800 families and hoped we could collect more than 80. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of area residents, we exceeded that goal and collected 114 turkeys and many boxes of canned goods, stuffing and pasta. In addition, many of you sent checks to buy groceries for the families.
We are so proud to be part of a caring community that always steps up to lend a hand in a big way. We wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Roger Hansen and Diane Denk, Kennebunk

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.
