Northampton County's Department of Community and Economic Development has received a $50,000 Monroe County gaming grant to purchase a box truck for the Mission of Love Food Bank in Bangor as well as the Portland/Upper Mount Bethel Food Pantry (PUMP) in Portland.

  1. Pastor Pons at SB mission of love is a very good person who believes in his goal to feed the hungry of the region. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and a truck for them to now use is just a wonderful gift indeed. Thank you all for caring and sharing your blessings upon this needed outreach.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
