CONWAY — The Kendal C. and Anna Ham Foundation has set aside $75,000 to support food pantries in the Mount Washington Valley, as well as in Fryeburg and Bridgton, Maine.
“The volunteers who staff our food pantries know more than most of us what the current COVID-19 pandemic is doing to our economy and families,” said Bob Murphy, executive director of the North Conway-based charitable foundation.
