All First National Bank branches will be collecting sweet treats and seasonings for local food pantries from October 18 through November 13.

If you would like to help, First National Bank welcomes donations to your local branches.

Valuable donations include: Cake, cookie, brownie and muffin mix, cinnamon, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and taco seasoning.

“We knew we wanted our annual drive to make a meaningful impact,” said Sarah Dubay, Community Engagement Officer at First National Bank, in a news release. “After visiting many of the local food pantries in the communities we serve – the most requested items were spices, an essential item often forgotten, and sweet treats to bring joy, especially during the holiday season.”

First National Bank is an independent community bank with 17 offices in Lincoln, Knox, Waldo, Hancock, Washington and Penobscot counties.
