Local departments teamed up with S.W. Collins for their Grill and Giveback event, serving hot dogs, community spirit, and support for a good cause. At each of S.W. Collins’ locations, from Fort Kent down to Lincoln, grills were sizzling and the lunch rush had a little extra purpose. Stores hosted a Grill and Giveback event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where locals were invited to donate while picking up a bite to eat.“We are doing a fundraiser for the local fire department and to help the Robbins Lumber where they had that really big fire earlier in the year. It’s to help the relief fund,” said S.W. Collins employee, Hannah Elland.The relief fund supports those affected by the Robbins Lumber mill explosion in Searsmont this past May. By noon, organizers said donations were already rolling in. “We’ve had a good amount of people come. A lot of people still haven’t had their lunch break. Like, I know personally I take a later lunch. So, hopefully the traffic will stay steady. We’ve got 45 pounds of hotdogs to go through and a bunch of chips. So, hopefully we get some hungry people coming,” Elland continued.While donations will help local fire departments and the Robbins Lumber relief fund, Elland says the event is also about recognizing the people who step in when the community needs them. “They say, “Good job, keep up the good work.” I would like to say that we’re very thankful for the community we live in. People help other people and that’s what it’s all about.”S.W. Collins says it will match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $2,000 at each participating location.
