Meg Murray Joins Community Harvest Board

Community Harvest is pleased to announce the appointment of Meg Murray to its Board of Directors. Murray, a resident of Kennebunk, is the Special Education and Transition Coordinator at Kennebunk High School. Murray and her husband, Todd Cesca, have delivered meals and set up for the Community Harvest Thanksgiving meals for years.

Murray has served on the board of Habitat for Humanity York County on family selection, volunteered as an art teacher at the Kittery Youth Connection, has helped with school accreditation for Kennebunk High School and another school district, has assisted with the district strategic planning, and currently serves on the district safety committee.

“I enjoy organizing events and connecting people,” said Murray. “I’m creative, detail-oriented, and I’ll help out with anything Community Harvest needs. There aren’t many challenges I’ll say no to in this realm.”

“Meg’s connections to local schools will strengthen our ties with Kennebunk High School students who are ready to gain some practical hands-on skills,” said Mathew Heersche, Community Harvest Board President.

“I’ve known Meg for years with her volunteering for our Thanksgiving meal,” said Kerry de Bree, Executive Director of Community Harvest. “Her organizational and creative skills will be a valuable asset for Community Harvest.”

“I’m excited to serve my community in this capacity,” said Murray. “I’m especially excited at the prospect of looping in local students to help serve in this capacity as well, specifically in resurrecting the Harvest Café monthly meal led by students in an attempt to help them gain valuable pre-vocational skills.”

Looking ahead to the future of Community Harvest, Murray is looking forward to learning what similar organizations do and she’s ready to apply new ideas to Community Harvest creatively and collaboratively. “I feel that if you can dream it, you can do it,” said Murray.
