Your Annual Appeal donations make it possible for us to continue serving our island elders. We couldn’t do it without you! Thank You to all who have given so generously this year! We are also accepting secure online donations

Island Commons gatherings (a.k.a. parties!) are our way of welcoming the Chebeague community into our “home” to share good food, good company and good times. Turnout is always high (100+ at the last two events). We’re planning a “Good Bye Winter/Hello Spring” open house. Watch for details in the next Calendar!

This month is our ever-popular Thanksgiving in February Community Lunch sponsored by Island Electric. We will also have two weeks of soup lunches sponsored by David Scrase and Melanie Gustafson. A new feature of the Wednesday get- togethers is cards at every table so that diners can express their thanks to our terrific donors. We are very excited about our upcoming Baked Bean and Bingo Night on March 4. This event is being sponsored by Maine Island Energy and promises to be a rip-roaring night of fabulous comfort food and old-fashioned fun! We are also trying to be as “green” as possible by using recycled paper goods (including coffee cups and lids) that are also compostable. Most of our non-meat scraps and leftovers gleaned from plates and bowls go to Sam’s chickens and come back to the community in the form of Chebeggs. But now we are also trying to reduce our footprint by serving food in containers that can be added to your home compost pile.

Thanks so much for your continued support! See you at the Hall!
