Dailath Leavitt pulls a sled laden with Christmas meals-to-go Saturday through Kennedy Park, as Melissa Dumais keeps the load steady. The two women were in search of people who wanted a free Christmas dinner. The meals were prepared by The Green Ladle from food donated by Shaw’s Supermarkets. The effort was coordinated by Emmanuel Vemba of the Webster Street Community Center, who put a call out for volunteers on the Lewiston Rocks Facebook page. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
