The Salvation Army received a recent donation of $5,000 from the Sebago Lake Rotary Club.
The Sebago Lake and Cumberland County ice fishing derbies are held annually each February to benefit local charities and have been managed and sponsored by the Sebago Lake Rotary Club in Windham, Maine since 2001.
The funds will support children and mothers in need in the greater Windham/Raymond area and will also provide assistance with sending children to The Salvation Army’s Camp Sebago in Standish, Maine.

While there are many organizations and families in need, especially this year, our club is focused on Children and Senior Citizens this season.
We are collecting items for specific families for a Happy Christmas through Windham Middle School and over 65 Senior Citizens will be given Christmas bags filled with items like gloves, lotions, candy, blankets, etc distributed through the Windham Food Pantry. We wish everyone a healthy and safe Holiday Season!
The Sebago Lake Rotary Club recently participated in the Rotary Million Mask Challenge Tour.
Food banks and food pantries are feeding double the numbers they have in the past! As more families find themselves with parents out of work and/or children home for their 3+ meals a day, the pantries are being visited by more families than ever. The Sebago Lake Rotary club has recently donated an additional $250 for the purchase of can goods to the Windham Food Pantry.
