Inside Standish: March 18

Saint Joseph’s lends helping hand to Ukrainians

Saint Joseph’s College has lately been hosting fundraising events on campus for World Central Kitchen to encourage students and community members alike to provide food for Ukrainian refugees. World Central Kitchen is a not-for-profit organization aimed at assisting communities globally in times of crisis. It has worked to provide disaster relief by distributing fresh food and meals to those who need it most. In the past, WCK has helped support victims of Hurricane Maria, floods in southeastern Brazil, Afghan refugees and families affected by COVID-19.

Donate to dog park

The Standish Community Dog Park Committee is still accepting donations to fund the expansion of Memorial Park on Route 25. This expansion project will include a fenced-in field and playground that is both dog-friendly and kid-friendly. To make a donation go to www.standishrec.com or donate in-person at Town Hall. They are also receiving bottle donations through Clynk at the Parks and Recreation office.

Bonnie Eagle High School is running adult enrichment classes in March and April for those who would like to develop certain skills, broaden their knowledge, or simply for self-improvement.

Coming up in April, there will be courses on photography, composting, papermaking and gardening. Register online at sad6.maineadulted.org.
