Lisbon – Members of the Lisbon Community School Student Council participated in an out-of-the classroom learning opportunity on Tuesday, December 20.  Thanks to the assistance of Mrs. Carol Day, co-director of The Lisbon Area Christian Outreach (L.A.C.O.) program, students along with LCS Assistant Principal / Student Council Advisor, Ryan Patrie and Community Resource Coordinator, Monica Millhime, members were given a tour of the Marion T. Morse Community Building at 16 School Street in Lisbon Falls.    Students are embarking on a series of community visits around Lisbon as part of their Student Council regularly scheduled after school meetings. 

Mrs. Day shared the food pantry is open to anyone in need who resides in the towns of Bowdoin, Durham and Lisbon.   L.A.C.O. food pantry operates through the generous giving of local volunteers from seven area churches.  Hours of operation are Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.  Residents wishing to visit the food panty for assistance are asked to fill out an application and must show two forms of identification, a photo ID ( i.e. driver’s license) and a utility bill, etc., providing proof of address.  Students in the Lisbon community have supported the food panty with food drives throughout the school year and assist with stocking and organizing. 

The clothing bank is open to anyone free of charge.  Donations of clothing or bedding can be dropped off when the clothing bank and food pantry are open.   Items also may be left in the plastic bins outside the entrance to the food pantry and clothing bank at the rear of the MTM Center.  Fall and winter clothing items are currently being accepted.  LACO members would like to thank the students and staff of the Lisbon schools, the LHS Interact Club, Boy Scouts, Post Office, and all the other organizations and individuals who donate food, clothing, money or volunteer time for these programs.
