All of us at the Bar Harbor Food Pantry are very excited about our recent announcement that we have expanded our services by opening a new second-hand clothing store, Serendipity: A Clothing Resale Shop. Our goal in opening this store is to generate funds to help keep the food pantry thriving, but also to provide affordable clothing to the entire community. Some things we hope this store brings to MDI are:

- Yet another way for everyone to help support the Food Pantry, by donating their good quality clothes for resale 

- An additional source of funds for the food pantry to  compliment the generosity of our donors.

- A much needed source of affordable clothes.

- Work experience for younger kids, community service opportunities for high school kids and multiple volunteer jobs for others who would like to get involved in our community.

How can you help us? There are a number of ways you can help to make this store a success:

·        - Donate your clean, good quality clothes to our store.

·        - Shop at the store!

·        - Offer to volunteer your time during our open hours.

·        - Look for news of fundraisers, and attend them.

·        - Spread the word! Tell your friends, family and neighbors what we are doing, and how they can help us too.

Please contact us if you would like to help make this project a success or if you have any questions. Call 288-2000, or email us at bhpantry@localnet.com.

Serendipity is located at the end of the Crooked Rd in Hull’s Cove, on Dewy St, next door to Mystery Cove Book Shop. We are open Wednesdays and Thursdays 10-2 and Fridays and Saturdays 10-4. Here's a map to help you find it!
