Sent 11/29/2024 As Native American Heritage Month comes to a close, we’d like to thank everyone for their help in strengthening native foodways through our Field Day promotion, rounding up at the register, or contributing cash. National Cooperative Grocers (NCG), a cooperative of over 165 retail food cooperatives nationwide including Rising Tide, came together to recognize the inaccuracies and harmful impacts of the myth of the first Thanksgiving to Indigenous communities by partnering with NĀTIFS, an Indigenous-led organization working to strengthen Native foodways nationally. In addition, to support our local community, Rising Tide has partnered with Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness. Giving Tuesday is next week! If you’d like to donate directly to our partners, click here to support Wabanaki Health and Wellness, or here to support NĀTIFS. This Giving Tuesday, please consider supporting Maine Public. We do! Every month, we donate .5% of our Wednesday sales to an organization nominated and voted on by our member-owners. That organization is also invited to come into Rising Tide and present information and takeaways for the public to be educated and aware of this organization’s efforts within our community. The Newcastle Ecumenical Food Pantry has been serving the Midcoast area since 1989- primarily the towns of Newcastle, Damariscotta and Nobleboro, but they do not turn anyone away. It was founded in 1989 by Ruth Ives and Gail Berry. Today it is the cooperative effort of 8 area churches and completely volunteer run, with the goal of addressing food insecurity locally. It is located on the ground level of Second Congregational Church in Newcastle. It is open every Tuesday, 9am – 11am SPARK YOUR SPIRIT! SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30th! LIVE COMMUNITY THEATER – DEC 13, 14 & 15 Crank up the Christmas Season fun with a comedic, fast-paced mashup of traditional holiday stories, classic tv productions, holiday films, and worldwide traditions, to be staged at The Waldo the evenings of Fri, 12/13, and Saturday, 12/14, with a Sunday matinee on 12/15. Instead of performing Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told by portraying more than 40 beloved and familiar Christmas characters—including Tiny Tim, Yukon Cornelius, Frosty, George Bailey, Ebeneezer Scrooge, The Grinch, Linus, and many more! A madcap and hilarious romp through the holiday season! Far more than standard “holiday” fare, it’s fun, funny and filled with nostalgia that we hope will evoke laughs and happy memories for our audience!Sign up for The Rising Times newsletter and get this great information straight in your email!
