The Falmouth Police Department’s annual Giving Tree is accepting donations through Dec. 29.
This year’s beneficiary is Maine Needs, a Portland-based nonprofit that provides donated clothing, hygiene products, household items and other necessities to those who need them. Donations of new or gently used items, including winter clothing, snow boots, waterproof coats and gloves, tents, sleeping bags and comforters, can be dropped off at the Police Department, 2 Marshall Drive.
Falmouth Officer Amanda Hogg started the Giving Tree project five years ago. Past recipients have included Through These Doors and the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland.

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. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
