The Sunderland Maple Syrup Festival raises funds to support various local and municipal organizations and projects, including school programs. The Planning Committee volunteers spend many hours in planning and preparing for the fun-filled 2-day event. Many more volunteers support and help out during the festival weekend. The Festival has supported many local initiatives and, to date, we have distributed over $50,000 throughout our community.
