Machias – Down East Community Hospital CEO, Steve Lail, presents fundraisers Arline Smith and Tammi Aiello with $1,500.00 for the Roque Bluffs Community Center’s August event to raise funds for the Machias Area Food Pantry.

The goal of the event is to raise enough money to buy a large refrigerator and a freezer for the Machias Food Pantry.  The fun packed event will take place at Roque Bluffs State Park on Saturday, August 13 from 10am to 4pm.  Lunch will be provided and there will be games, face painting and prizes. And, a Bagpiper will be playing at 1pm! The cost to attend is just $7.00 per person and all proceeds will go to the Machias Food Pantry.

CEO, Steve Lail, “The food pantries have always provided an invaluable service to the community.  The need is increasing so it is more important than ever to give so they can continue to help those who are food insecure.  We hope they have a huge turnout for the event and are very thankful for the individuals and groups out there like the Roque Bluffs Community Center who donate their time to help those in need.”
