‘Tithing Tuesday’ food truck event to raise funds for Portland nonprofit

A night of food trucks in Wells later this month will help raise money for the Center for Grieving Children.

Congdon’s After Dark, a seasonal food truck park at Congdon’s Doughnuts in Wells, will feature the Portland nonprofit as its Tithing Tuesday beneficiary from 4 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 25.

The Tithing Tuesday program regularly partners with local nonprofits, allowing organizations to raise money while connecting with the community.

The event will be held at 1090 Post Road. Admission is free and no registration is required.
