Kittery's Fuel & More to host Friends for Fuel fundraiser with food and auctions
KITTERY, Maine — Fuel & More will host its annual fundraiser, Friends for Fuel, on Sunday, Oct. 22, at The Blue Mermaid in Kittery from 4:30 to 8 p.m.
The event will feature live music by The Loving Cup along with a buffet of food and drink from local establishments. Live and silent auctions will offer an array of items. To see a complete list of restaurants donating food and auction items visit fuelandmore.org.
The volunteer-run nonprofit helps Kittery residents with heating costs and unforeseen expenses. The fundraising goal is to ensure no family or individual is left in the cold and no family or individual in need is turned away. In addition to helping with fuel costs, the nonprofit helps Kittery families who are facing unforeseen financial challenges with back rent, car repairs, utility bills, transportation expenses, housing, child care and more in coordination with the York County Community Action. We provide Kittery school counselors with gift cards for students who lack warm clothing and purchase hundreds of coats, hats, mittens, and pairs of boots each year.
Tickets are $45 and can be purchased online at eventbrite.com/e/friends-for-fuel-fuel-more-tickets-693048154687?aff=oddtdtcreator or in person at the Kittery Community Center 120 Rogers Road, Kittery, Maine. Tickets will also be available at the door if the event is not sold out. Buying tickets in advance is strongly advised by organizers.
