 Volunteers from the Friends organization at The Maine Children's Home for Little Wanderers announced that the group raised $3,900 as part of the 3rd Annual Lobster Roll Lunch held on October 14. The funds from the event will be used to support the organization's annual Christmas Program that provides boxes of gifts and clothing to approximately 1,600 financially disadvantaged children throughout the state.
The funds from the event were generated in large part by a donation from Cozy Harbor Seafood in Portland of 100 pounds of lobster meat. Other local businesses such as Hannaford and Shaw's provided supplies as well.
