To purchase tickets, people can stop by Chelsea Thrift and Gift at 247 Togus Road between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, contact the foodbank or make arrangements to meet with a foodbank volunteer.
Tickets costs $1 each or six for $5.

As cold weather approaches and food prices keep rising, the Chelsea Foodbank is feeding on average more than 80-100 local families weekly. These families are not only from Chelsea but other surrounding towns, according to a news release from Lisa Webb-Kalloch with the foodbank.
The foodbank is open weekly from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Everyone is welcome; nobody who is hungry is ever turned away. The foodbank will open its doors at other times to emergency situations as well.
For more information, call Jeremy Kalloch at 207-660-7584 or Webb-Kalloch at 207-660-7583.
