Caroline Labrie, center, of Auburn and Cathy Levesque of Sabattus chat Monday with Tim Griffin of Auburn as the volunteers prepare for Christmas at the Trinity Jubilee Center in Lewiston. Volunteers sorted children’s toys, holiday treats and cooked a Christmas meal that will be handed out to those in need on Christmas Eve. “We have been preparing for this all week,” said kitchen manager Cassandra Culleton. “For a lot of people that come here, this is the only Christmas they have,” Culleton said. Labrie and Levesque are members of the Grace Community Church, which has been helping out at Trinity for more than ten years, said Labrie. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
Kevin Boilard sorts Christmas toys Monday at the Kaydenz Kitchen Food Pantry inside the emergency warming center in Lewiston. Boilard said that more than 100 children in need will benefit from donated toys from businesses and community members.
