Thank you and
Happy New Year
Thank you, thank you. Our planet is breathing a bit easier due to our neighbors in Wells, Ogunquit, Biddeford, Kennebunk and Kennebunkport bringing unwanted and/or old textiles, shoes, boots, purses, linens, etc., to our St. David’s November Textile Drive.
A total of 6,646 pounds of textiles and 565 pounds of shoes were donated by local businesses, motels and individuals, and brought to the Quest Fitness parking lot to be recycled/repurposed by EcoSmith Recyclers.
Gratitude goes to Quest Fitness for its support and Domino’s Pizza for feeding our all-volunteer team on a brisk day. This total of 7,211 pounds was kept out of landfills. Mother Earth is thankful.
Our next Textile Drive will be on March 22. See you then. If you have items for us and can’t be there, contact us at lilmae1785@gmail.com. We’d be glad to pick up your items and hold them in our storage unit for our March event.

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.
