BANGOR – Meals for Me, a program of Eastern Agency on Aging, has accepted the Feinstein Foundation Challenge of matching donations.

For the fifth straight year, Rhode Island philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein is offering $1 million to nonprofit, anti-hunger agencies throughout the country. He will divide his $1 million among all those agencies using his offer to help them raise funds from March 1 to April 30.

The amount matched is generally a small percentage, but the support of the community makes the challenge successful.

Meals for Me serves 200,000 hot meals every year to people 60 and older.

Some who are housebound, frail or ill and unable to cook for themselves receive home delivery while others visit Meals for Me dining rooms in Penobscot, Piscataquis, Hancock and Washington counties.

Donors may make checks out to Meals for Me and mail them to 450 Essex St., Bangor 04401. Checks must be dated between March 1 and April 30 to be eligible for the matching program.

All donations, cash or checks, must be received by May 1.
