Islesboro youngsters create food pantry

Islesboro youngsters create food pantry: "Christian Education director Sharon Dawbin, of Islesboro's Second Baptist Church, said, 'It was their idea.' Other years, the Sunday school students assembled food items to take to a mainland food pantry, but this year one 11-year-old came to Mrs. Dawbin and said she had heard her parents talking about how winter might be hard for some people on the island and wondered if the students could do something about that. While none of the children personally know anyone who needs help, Krystal said 'some older people might need the pantry,' as might other people who were having trouble because 'prices are going up.'"
