CN Brown Company’s Corporate Office Team hosted a Reverse Advent Calendar Food Drive during the month of December.  Each day team members brought in a non-perishable food item to be donated to a local food pantry on Christmas Eve.  The Energy Division management team made a decision to donate $100 to the project in place of their annual gift exchange with one another.

The event will be on Thursday, August 28th at the Ocean Gateway in Portland. We will be honoring the incredible 2013-2014 fundraising efforts of the People of C.N. Brown amounting to over $250,000.

Led by President, Jinger Duryea, the People of C.N. Brown’s compassion has allowed the MDA of Maine to continue to provide local services to families living with Muscle Disease throughout Maine. Several services include clinics at Maine Medical Center, equipment repairs, and the best week of the year, MDA Summer Camp in Sanford, Maine.
The C.N. Brown Company started out as a small lumber company in Lovell, Maine, back in 1948. It has diversified and grown into the Big Apple Stores, CN Brown Heating Oil and a number of major branded service stations throughout ME, NH & VT. In 2012, C.N. Brown added the C. N.

Make a Soldier’s Dream Come True

US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne was critically injured on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, by and IED, and lost portions of both legs and both arms.  Thanks to his amazing strength, courage, and incredible will to live, the heroic actions of the men in his unit, and the prayers of thousands, Travis is on the road to recovery and consistently astounds friends and family alike with his progress and with his amazing spirit.

For over 100 years, Camp Kennebec, located in Belgrade, Maine, at Salmon Lake, has prided itself on fulfilling their mission of Enriching & Inspiring campers to be their best selves.  Camp Kennebec and its many Veteran alumni have longed to have their Alma Mater join in partnership for the noble cause that together will fulfill our privilege and duty to honor the generations of those who have served our country.

In 2014, C.N. Brown Company gave support to this project to help “Make a Soldier’s Dream Come True”.
