Blaine House Food Drive Is Underway

As B98.5 wraps up our 15th annual 'Tanks' gving food drive, the Governor and the first lady Ann LePage are starting the annual Blaine House food drive.

Gov. Paul LePage and first lady Ann LePage plan to open the Blaine House from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and again Nov. 14 for the 5th Annual Blaine House Food Drive.

The food drive began in 2011. Since then, thousands of pounds of food have been collected for pantries and shelters across the state, according to the release. Those who donate get a tour of the Blaine House, led by the governor, and light refreshments will be provided.

All food donated goes to the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn, which then will distribute the donations across the state.
