WCSH, WABI cover food-packing event
WCSH (Channel 6) and WABI (Channel 5) reported University of Maine students and faculty helped pack food boxes at an Old Town food pantry to help those in need.
The event was inspired by the words and deeds of Martin Luther King Jr. According to the WCSH report, in 35 minutes, more than 100 volunteers packed 10,000 meals and raised enough money for 10,000 more.
“I think this is an issue that everyone should have the right to eat food and not have to worry about where their food comes from, so this is definitely living up to his legacy,” said UMaine student volunteer Samuel Borer.
