Also, a food drive to benefit the End 68 Hours of Hunger program is looking for the public's help to "Stuff the Truck" parked in front of the Eliot Police Department until Saturday, May 10.

Food suggestions include small packages of crackers, canned pasta such as ravioli, nutrition bars, macaroni and cheese, canned tuna or chicken, individually packaged fruit cups and fruit juices, small boxes of cereal, and peanut butter and jelly in plastic containers.
