For all the procrastinators, this is your last chance to enter West Bay Rotary Satellite Club’s “Hearth-Warming Raffle” and support two local charities, AIO Food & Fuel Assistance and The Shields Fund. The two charities will receive the net proceeds from this raffle. And one lucky winner will have a much warmer and environmentally-friendly household thanks to Efficient Heat Pumps of Maine LLC. Additional prizes include a utility trailer and gift cards to Sea Bags, Hannaford, and Starbucks.

Tickets must be purchased by midnight on November 30 and are $40 each, or buy three for $100. Winners will be drawn on December 1. Scan the QR code or go to: https://wbsatelliterotary.square.site/

The Shields Fund, a project of the First Congregational Church of Camden, works cooperatively with local social services agencies, providing assistance to Knox County and Lincolnville residents in financial crisis. Shields Fund provides direct aid to individuals and families with payments made to the service providers. Examples include warmth (fuel & electricity), shelter, automotive repairs, health care (medical, dental, vision), education, and home maintenance for safety issues.

AIO Food & Energy Assistance serves the region with energy assistance for those in need. This past year, AIO helped 475 households with heating fuel assistance. For the current heating season, they’re expecting even more requests.

Reminder: Tickets must be purchased by midnight on November 30 and are $40 each, or buy three for $100. Winners will be drawn on December 1. Scan the QR code or go to: https://wbsatelliterotary.square.site/
