Sunday River Challenge
Since mid-March, our community has been grappling with many of the challenges associated with COVID-19, including food security. During this time, Sunday River has supplied over 6,000 meals to people in need in our region and have donated funds to help keep the shelves of our local food pantry stocked. They’re proud to be part of a community that is dedicated to helping one another in times of need.
Now, they’re inviting you to help, too. Sunday River has offered to match up to $5,000 in cash donations to the Bethel Food Pantry from now through Giving Tuesday on December 1, 2020. Your contribution will help the Food Pantry continue to serve the community that makes Sunday River and the Bethel region a vibrant and enjoyable place for all of us.
#Donate
If you’re unable to make a donation online, please consider donating goods or mailing a check.
Now, more than ever, it’s important to come together (at a distance) and do our part. Thank you for being a part of the Sunday River family, and making our community a better place to live and play.
