CAMDEN — Meet neighbors and friends at a free community potluck coordinated by CamdenCAN (ClimateActionNow) and hosted the Congregational Church.

"Bountiful connections and colorful plates of food to share and enjoy will be on hand Thursday, October 24, at 5:30." said CamdenCAN, in a news release. "They’ll be plenty to talk about as we gather to eat: the summer’s growing season, opportunities to expand one’s cooking talents (and reduce global warming) with a plant-based diet, and the role of food-waste in our warming world. (According to Maine Morning Star: “Annual food waste in Maine emits as much greenhouse gas as nearly 400,000 cars,” [Annemarie Hilton, 10/15/24].)

"You’ll meet neighbors you didn’t know you had and learn of resources for seed-sharing, composting, gleaning, and home food gardening,"  said the release. "If you’re so inclined, bring a dish to share, and/or a recipe for plant-based food, if you have a favorite. We’ll be building stronger community bonds, helping one another embrace lower-impact lifestyles, and sharing good cheer and wholesome food. Event is open to all, is family-friendly, and not to be missed."
