RUMFORD — The Rumford Eagles fraternal organization recently made a $1,600 donation to Rumford Hospital.

The money, raised during the club’s annual Legacy 8-Ball pool tournament fundraiser, will be used for the Central Maine Heart & Vascular Institute.

Although CMHVI is headquartered at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, it provides services to the River Valley community, including cardiac testing and evaluation, cardiac rehabilitation and cardiologist consultations.

Maine Veterans Project hosts Thanksgiving distribution event

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) – One local organization is looking to improve the holidays for hundreds of veterans in the Greater Bangor area

The Maine Veterans Project hosted their Thanksgiving distribution event this morning from 8am until 12pm at their office in Bangor.

Any veteran in the Greater Bangor area was welcome to stop by and get some food for free to help feed them and their families this Thanksgiving.

Meals were also delivered to those who couldn’t make it to the event in person.

Over 200 large bags of non-perishable food were available as well as turkeys, milk, eggs, burgers, and bacon.

They also had some cold weather gear available to those who needed it including jackets, socks, and gloves.

Hermon elementary school students also made some heartwarming cards for the veterans who would be picking up food at the event.

Maine Veterans Project vice president Anthony Murano said their goal was just to help as many veterans as they could.

“As you can see we do have a lot of moving parts going on out here. Today is our Thanksgiving distribution event, and the goal of today is to feed as many veteran’s families as we possibly can for the Thanksgiving season. We do have a small food pantry that we do keep stocked throughout the year, so if we have any vets that are looking for a little food assistance, we can help in that aspect,” said Murano.

Maine Veterans Project partnered with several local businesses and organizations to help make this event possible including Evan’s Veterans Project and the Not Your Average Nurses Foundation.
