AUBURN – Good Shepherd Food Bank has announced the projects funded through its third round of Community Redistribution Fund grant awards.
The fund support grantees’ efforts to increase access to culturally important foods in their communities. The grants are intended for organizations working closely and primarily with BIPOC (Black and Indigenous people and People of Color), immigrant, and refugee communities.
Grant awards of up to $10,000 were available and priority was given to community-led organizations that are not Good Shepherd Food Bank partners, and those led by and primarily serving people of color. A central tenant of the grant-making process was to shift power and decision-making away from the food bank to community members and to prioritize efforts led by and primarily serving BIPOC.
Awards went to AK Health and Social Services, Angolan Community of Maine, Azerbaijan Society of Maine, Black Owned Maine, Boys and Girls Clubs of Border Towns, Capital Area New Mainers Project, Congolese Community of Maine, Cultivating Community, Cumberland County Food Security Council: Ummah Farms, Eastern Woodlands Rematriation, Gateway Community Services Maine, Greater Portland Family Promise, In Her Presence, Isuken Coop, Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services, Mano en Mano, Mawita’nej Epij’ij, Multicultural Community and Family Support Services, New England Arab American Organization, Passamaquoddy Tribe – Indian Township, Somali Bantu Community Association, Sustainable Livelihoods Relief Organization, Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness.
