Sunrise Coffee & Donuts
Early risers are encouraged to come to Thompson’s Orchard, 276 Gloucester Hill Road, from 5-7 a.m. Saturday, July 10, for its Sunrise Coffee & Donuts fundraiser to support a local worthy cause. For a donation, guests are treated to fresh coffee and doughnuts while overlooking the main orchard at sunrise.
The GNG Backpack Club is the repeat beneficiary due to its paramount importance to students in the community. Through this program, students in Gray-New Gloucester Schools who need it receive a bag of food in their backpack for the weekend.
All contributions go directly to the backpack program, which is funded entirely by donations, although it operates in conjunction with the Good Shepherd Food Bank. Those who aren’t early risers but would like to support the cause can donate at Thompson’s Orchard, using the backpack by the cash register. Cash or checks payable to Good Shepard Food Bank with “MSAD 15 Backpack” noted in the memo line are accepted.
